Lebanese-style Lentils & Rice
with coconut yoghurt & fresh mint
Lebanese food is a treat for all of a Chef’s senses – from the beautiful aromatics, zesty notes of citrus, and pops of sweetness in savoury recipes, to the enticing colours on the plate. Steeped in tradition, this modern take on Lebanese rice with lentils, baby marrow, & bell peppers with dried cranberries is a lip-smacking delight.
