Green Lentils
SALAD
2 cups of cooked green lentils
1 small diced onion or a handful of finely chopped green
2 tomatoes diced
2 or 3 cups of chopped parsley
2 finely chopped cucumbers
salt to taste
lemon to taste
olive oil as much or little as you want
Mix everything together and serve, nice eaten as a main with hummus or some other kind of pureed veggie salad and yogurt drink........ayran
PILAV
1 cup of cooked lentils
rice
bit of cumin
Cook your rice in the usual way, when you put the water in at that time add the cooked lentils bring and cumin, bring to the boil for a couple of minutes then turn the rice off. Let it sit on the stove for about 15 mins with the lid on or until done. I usually stir the lentils through as during the cooking process they come to the top. Serve with finely chopped parsley on top or whatever herb you have if desired. Sometimes I stir in a handful of chopped walnuts into it before serving, then serve with a green salad and pickles.
You can eat this hot like a pilav or cold as a salad
2 cups of cooked lentils
half a cup of fine cracked wheat
3 tomatoes chopped
2 sweet chillies
1 onion chopped
1 tblsp tomato paste
1 cup of chopped parsley
some fresh chopped mint or dried
pomegrante syrup or lemon juice
salt and pepper
In a bowl add the cooked lentils, add the parsley and mint. In a frypan start cooking the onion in a little oil when done add the chilles and tomatoes. After those are cooked add the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Add mix to the lentils in the bowl and combine. With the cracked wheat you will pour on a little boiling water and let it sit until it has absorbed. Then add it to the lentil mix in the bowl. Add the salt and pepper and the pomegrante syrup. Mix everything well and serve.
