INSTANT POT® TURKISH RED LENTIL SOUP WITH ALEPPO PEPPER OIL
This is a simple, hearty Turkish soup. It gets a pleasantly thick body from red lentils, which soften and break down during cooking. The Aleppo pepper is a wonderful addition, lending a gentle bite of warmth.

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter until foamy. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Push onion and garlic to one side of the pot and add olive oil. Toast paprika and cumin for 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste. Add lentils, rice, and salt. Pour in water and turn off Saute function.
- Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Meanwhile, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the entire skillet. Add Aleppo pepper and cook until a few bubbles appear and the oil is bright red. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle with Aleppo pepper oil, sprinkle with fresh mint, and serve with lemon wedges.
