Mejadra

Lentils, rice, and onions -- seemingly basic but tastes anything but that. Coriander, cumin, turmeric, all spice, and cinnamon come together creating the warmest and earthiness of flavors and the sweet richness of fried onions brings the perfect contrast.

Curried Lentils

Curried lentils should mean warmth and heartiness because that’s what it does to the soul. Curl up on the couch with a giant bowl of stew with roti on the side to shake that first fall chill right off.

Tasso Lentil Soup

I used the cooking water from the chicken enchiladas last week as a broth for this soup. If you don’t have that cooking water, fear not! Use chicken stock and add red pepper flakes.
