I came across this recipe on .It is a Lebanese dish called rishta bi.The pasta is usually cooked in the same water as the lentils, giving an earthy colour and flavour. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but it does sound absolutely delicious and healthy too.... Ingredients:
1 large onion, sliced |
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
100 g large green lentils or 100 g brown lentils |
100 g dried egg tagliatelle pasta noodles |
20 g flat leaf parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Slowly fry the onion in 2 tbsp oil for 15-20 minutes until brown and caramelised, stirring often.
2. Rinse the lentils and boil them in plenty of water until they are just tender.
3. Crush the tagliatelle in your hand and drop the pieces into the pan with the lentils - there should be enough water to cover them.
4. Add salt, stir and boil vigorously for 6-7 minutes,until the pasta is cooked al dente.
5. Drain, adjust the seasoning, and toss with the remaining olive oil, the fried onion and the parsley.
6. Can be eaten hot or at room temperature.
