  1. LET IT SIMMER AWAY

    Rinse the lentils and place in a pot. Submerge in 350ml of water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly softened but not cooked.

  2. GOLDEN ALMONDS & ONIONS

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, shifting regularly. On completion, turn up the heat and sauté until nicely crisped, then remove the pan from the heat.

  3. GET IN THE MIX

    When the lentils have finished simmering, stir in the rinsed rice, the stock, and 300ml of salted water. Bring back up to a simmer and replace the lid. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice and lentils are cooked. Keeping the lid on, remove the pot from the heat and set aside to steam for about 5 minutes.

  4. WHILE THE RICE IS COOKING...

    Place the drained cannellini beans, the tahini, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and a drizzle of olive oil in a blender. Blend until smooth, transfer to a bowl, and mix in seasoning. Use the back of a spoon to create a swirl on the surface. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle over ¼ of the Moroccan Rub and ½ of the dried pomegranate gems. Set aside for serving.

  5. FLAVOUR-PACKED SALAD

    Place the diced baby marrow in a bowl. Toss through the lemon zest, the remaining Moroccan Rub, and some oil until coated. Place a pan (use a grill pan if you have one) over a high heat. When hot, fry the baby marrow for 2-3 minutes until charred. Return to the bowl and toss through the drained feta and the remaining dried pomegranate gems.

  6. A TRIP TO LEBANON!

    Scoop a generous portion of mujadara into a bowl and top with the crispy onion. Scatter over the almonds and mint leaves. Spoon in the baby marrow salad and garnish with a lemon wedge. Have the Lebanese-style hummus at hand for dolloping as you please! Sahtein, Chef!
