  1. LET IT SIMMER AWAY

    Rinse the lentils and place in a pot. 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 & 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 and the stock. 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. Pulse until smooth, transfer to a bowl, and mix through some 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 cranberries. Set aside for serving. In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses with 10ml of oil, some lemon juice and season to taste. Set aside.

  5. FLAVOUR-PACKED SALAD

    Place the baby marrow rounds 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 remaining dried cranberries.

  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 and drizzle over the pomegranate molasses to taste. Have the Lebanese-style hummus at hand for dolloping as you please! Sahtein, Chef!
