RICE
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the rice seasoning and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the rinsed rice to the pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
CRISPY LENTILS
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained lentils until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
KEBABS
In a bowl, combine the mushrooms, the rinsed tomatoes, the Onion pieces, the grated Garlic, the NOMU rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Thread the mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions onto the skewers, until all the ingredients are used.
GRILLED KEBABS
Place a grill pan or return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
When the rice is done, mix in the crispy lentils.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the rice, top with the charred mushroom skewers, and scatter over the chopped dates. Dollop over the Raita. Well done, Chef!
