Cooked Brown Lentils (حراق اصبعه )

Hello everybody.

We’re ordering food today but thought I’ll do a side dish  this is a Syrian appetizer, I always thought it’s hard to make or needs too much ingredients and steps..but then I found this basic recipe in an old book called ABC of cooking ( الف باء الطبخ),, been doing it since then by the book, very easy and nutritious.
Lentils are rich in iron and protein, can be a very good substitute for meat to vegetarians.

Ingredients and method:
* 1 cup brown lentils.
*  2-3 cloves garlic
*  3-4 onions.
* bunch of coriander.
* 1/2 cup lemon juice.
* 2 spoons pomegranate sauce ( دبس رمان ).
* 1 cup small size pasta.
* cubed fried pitta bread.
* salt, pepper, cumin powder.

* wash lentils then boil in 4 cups of water , add salt and 1 spoon cumin.
* add the pasta and leave to simmer till done.
* add lemon juice, pomegranate sauce.
* fry the onions in oil till golden.
* crush garlic and chop coriander then saute them in some oil.
* add half the amount of onions and garlic to lentil pasta mixture. Leave to simmer till it thickens and homogeneous. You might need to add some water.
* upon serving,, in a deep dish put some of the bread in the bottom.
*add the lentil mixture.
* decorate with the rest if garlic, onions and bread cubes.
* serve hot.
