  1. LET IT SIMMER

    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil, when hot, add the mince and ½ of the Moroccan rub. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking up the mince as it cooks, until browned. Rinse the lentils and add to the pot of mince. Submerge in 300ml 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

    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.

  3. CRISPY ONIONS

    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 crisped, then remove the pan from the heat.

  4. GET IN THE MIX

    When the lentils have finished simmering, stir in the rinsed rice, veg stock, and seasoning. 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. Add more water if it dries out before the lentils and rice are cooked. Keeping the lid on, remove the pot from the heat and set aside to steam for about 5 minutes.

  5. FLAVOUR-PACKED SALAD

    Place the baby marrow rounds in a bowl. Toss through 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 smoking hot, fry the baby marrow for 2-3 minutes until charred. Return to the bowl and toss through ½ the chopped dried cranberries, ½ of the toasted almonds and rinsed green leaves.

  6. A TRIP TO LEBANON!

    Scoop a generous portion of mujadara into a bowl and top with the crispy onion. Scatter over the remaining almonds and mint leaves. Spoon in the baby marrow salad. Plate up the hummus and use the back of a spoon to create a swirl on the surface. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle over the remaining dried cranberries. Have the Lebanese-style hummus at hand for dolloping as you please! Sahtein, Chef!
