Directions
Middle Eastern Rice and Lentils,This protein rich dish will add a flavorful accent to broiled or grilled lamb chops or steaks. A combination of cinnamon, cumin, and cloves gives the dish a spicy Middle Eastern taste and aroma. Toss any cold leftovers with a mustard vinaigrette for an easy luncheon salad, or use it to make stuffed peppers!,I doubled this recipe to take to a Middle Eastern themed dinner at my congregation. It was greeted with lots of lip-smacks and Mmmm, Mmmms. I happened to have some “one bite” mini potatoes on hand, so used them in the dish for some novelty. In all, a very colorful, very flavorful dish. I think the spices and raisins were “spot on”. Thank you for a great dinner Sharon123!,We absolutely adore the bulk of these ingredients; however, we did not enjoy this at all. Can’t quite pinpoint why. I did make it with brown rice, which required additional liquid and cooking time – perhaps that is the culprit?
