INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 8 cups of water
- 1 pound of Midamar Halal 93% Lean Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 a cup of chopped carrots
- 1/2 a cup of frozen peas
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup cracked wheat #3
- Yogurt, for serving, optional
- Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
Heat olive oil in a pot on medium heat, add onions, sprinkle with a dash of salt and cook until they turn dark caramel brown, stirring often. Splash the onions with a little water if they stick to the bottom of the pan. You'll know they're done both by their deep chestnut color and by the slight crispiness developing on some of the onions. Remove onions onto a separate plate and cook ground beef in the same pot.
When the ground beef is fully cooked, add lentils, cracked wheat and stir for one minute. Add water, spices, onions, carrots, and peas and let simmer for 20 minutes or until lentils and cracked wheat have softened. Serve with yogurt, Yields 6 servings.
