Lentils (mancare de linte)

Cautand idei pentru retete cu linte am gasit ceva ce incercasem mai demult fara sa stiu ca are numele de Mujaddara. De data asta am gasit proportiile si gustul perfect impreuna cu carne de berbecut.

Ro: mancare de linte

A very simple, fasting friendly dish.

Ingredients

• 1-2 carrots
• 250g red lentils

Preparation

• clean the carrots and cut them in round pieces
• boil the carrots in water just to cover them until the ebullition
• add the lentils, salt and pepper
• stir from time to time, add more water until the lentils are soft. Don’t over cook as the lentils tends to crumble into a soft paste
• enjoy

Alternatively you might want to serve with sausages or with a bit of “turta”.

This was just an idea which combines 2 dishes I like very much and the result is equally tasty. Updated, found the name of this recipe to be mujaddara.

Ingredients

• olive oil, 1 tbs ginger powder, 1/2 tbs safran powder
• 1/5 tea cup (175 ml) rice
• 1/5 tea cup (175 ml) red lentils
• 3 cups of water
