In Lebanon, towards the end of the month 💸💸, people switch from meat to lentils because it’s obviously more affordable yet tasty 😍

Steps

1

Rinse and start boiling the lentils in 6 cups of water and leave it for 15 minutes on medium to high heat
2

Chop the onion and fry it in olive oil until it’s transparent and golden
3

After 15 minutes (or some lentils types might take 5-10 minutes more) add a handful of cracked wheat or rice after you rinse it, cumin, salt and the fried onion along with its oil
4

You can then add another cup or two of water if all the water you’ve added first has already gone.
5

Leave for another 15 minutes and keep mixing every 3 minutes until you get this texture like in the photo below

Enjoy it with flat bread and salad on the side. Can be served cold too! Sahtein😊
