Warm lentils served with cool yoghurt and the spice of green onions makes this dish a refreshing and filling side dish or entree. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 yellow onion, chopped |
4 cups water |
1 cup lentils |
1/4 cup bulgur |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 lemon, quartered |
2 green onions, chopped |
1 cup plain yogurt |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat; cook and stir the onion in the oil until caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside.
2. Bring water to a boil in a pan over medium heat; add the lentils. Return mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low; simmer until the lentils get soupy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the bulgur, salt, and pepper; simmer until water is completely absorbed, about 10 minutes; stir in the caramelized onions. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Divide lentils into 4 even portions; squeeze one lime wedge over each portion and top with green onions and yogurt.
