A savory and satisfying Lebanese plant-based meal made with lentils, rice, and caramelized onions covered with a spicy dairy-free yogurt sauce. Easy to make and delicious to eat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Medium Onions (Sliced Thin)
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 3 Cups Water
  • 1 Cup Dried Basmati Rice
  • 1 Cup Dried Brown Lentils
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ Black Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley (Garnish)

Yogurt Ingredients:

  • ½ Cup Dairy Free Yogurt
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
  • ½ tsp Ground Cumin
  • ½ Lemon (Zest and Juice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all produce.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven coated with a little oil, cook the onions over medium/low heat, stirring frequently. Cook until golden brown, approx. 20 mins.
  3. While the onions cook, combine all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a bowl and refrigerate.
  4. Once the onions have caramelized, transfer 3/4 of them to a bowl and set aside.
  5. Add the cumin and coriander to pot cook for 1 minute while stirring.
  6. Pour the water into the pot and bring to boil. Add the rice and cover. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  7. Next, add the lentil and cover. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes or until all of the water has absorbed.
  8. Fluff the mixture with a fork and plate. Top with caramelized onion and the yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and ENJOY!
  9. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. We recommend storing the spiced yogurt in a separate container.
