Published by Bat-El at January 26, 2021

Ingredients

1 cup basmati brown rice

1/2 cup lentils

3 Tbsp olive or grapseed oil

2 cups boiling water

½-1 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Pepper

1 big onion-chopped (or 2 medium)

Pinch of Cinnamon, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.

Cilantro or parsley to garnish

This has been one of our signature dishes for years now.
A complete plant-based protein, rich in iron and fiber. Kid-friendly, delicious, and filling.
Hope you give it a try.

Instructions

1). Place the rice and lentils in a metal bowl and pour hot boiling water over it. Making sure the water covers it completely. About 1 inch above. Soak for 25 minutes.

2). While rice is soaking, chop the onion and warm up a wide skillet. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and add the onions. Saute low and slow for about 15-20 minutes. Then season with 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cumin, a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix for 1 minute, allow the spices to open and turn off the heat. Set aside.

3) After 25 minutes, strain and wash the rice and lentils. Place in a pot along with the 2 cups water. 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover, and simmer on low for 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep the pot closed for another 10 minutes.

4). Add the sautéed onions to the rice and lentils, fluff with a fork, and garnish with parsley or cilantro.

Enjoy!

The soup you need to be making tomorrow!!! It is

What a practical way to eat the food you want in a $What a practical way to eat the food you want in a fraction of the time! Life changing! Fun Pan-Sheet Falafel Triangles For A Lazy Week Night [ INGREDIENTS ] 2 cups dried chickpeas- must be soaked in water overnight (up to 24 hours) 8 garlic cloves 1 big onion- peeled and cut into 4 2 big handfuls of fresh cilantro 2 handfuls parsley ½ jalapeno pepper (optional) 1 tsp baking soda 1 lemon zested and juiced 2-3 Tbsp olive oil 1-2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp sweet paprika ¼ tsp cinnamon 1-2 tsp salt Pepper [ INSTRUCTIONS ] Preheat oven to 420 F. 1). Place the lemon juice, oil, onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley and spices, jalapeno in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. You’ll get a wet mixture similar to chimichurri sauce that smells amazing. Transfer that to a big bowl and set aside. 2). Wash the chickpeas very well and place in a food processor. Pulse until you get small tiny crumbles and transfer to the mixed herbed bowl. (If your food processor is small, do a few batches if needed.) 3). Once everything is in the bowl, add the baking soda and adjust spices and salt. 4). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle a little olive or grapeseed oil, and transfer the falafel mixture. Flatten it with your hands and try to get about 1/3 of an inch thickness. 5). Now take a sharp knife and cut into squares. Then cut in the middle of each square in order to get a triangle. Just like cutting baklava. Drizzle a tiny bit more oil on top. 6). Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. At this point, the falafel is baked halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes or more. 7). Take a sharp knife and separate all the triangles. Arrange them with space so the edges will get crisp up on the second baking round. 8). Make sure your oven is still on 420 F. and place back the separated falafel triangles. Bake for 10 minutes more or until golden. If your falafel is too thin it will burn out fast. So make sure you watch it closely. 9). Serve with many fresh condiments such as Israeli salad, pickles, drizzle lots of tahini and whatever comes to mind! #falafel #sheetpandinner #bakedfalafel #israelicuisine #Israelifood$
