dishes🇱🇧. ~~~~~~~~~~. 1 cup Basmati rice 2 cups cooked green lentils 4 large white onions (chopped in a half moon shape)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp ground cumin. Salt to taste 3 cups boiled hot water. ~~~~~~~~~~. First of all, fry the onion in the olive oil until golden brown, remove 2/3 of the fried onion on the side and leave the rest in the same pan. Then add the rice onto the onions, then stir. After that add the cooked lentil plus the cumin and salt. Mix together while on medium heat, then add the boiling hot water stir and cover. Once the food starts to boil, lower the heat down and leave it to simmer for 15-17 min. ~~~~~~~~~~
Cabbage salad: One sweet heart cabbage grated thinly. One red/spring onion finally chopped.
Parsley and fresh mint finally chopped.
Dressing: 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil. The juice of 2 lemons. A dash of raw organic apple cider vinegar.
Salt and sumac to your taste. Mix all together and set aside for the cabbage to absorb the dressing.
After the rice dish is cooked, set on a plate and add all the remaining fried onions. The caramelised onions add extra flavour plus a nice touch of decoration on top of the lentil rice dish.
~~~~~~~~~~~. Lentils are full of protein and onions are loaded with antioxidants and biotin that is great for hair growth. Cumin is also an antioxidant that fights free radicals. ~~~~~~~~~~. Et bon appetite.
