Lentils in Cooked Yoghurt (مقطعه ).

Hello again.

I’m sure many of you specially youngsters never heard of this dish. Actually it’s a very very old traditional dish from Irbid (Northern Jordan) our late grandmas used to make it whenever they have a leftover cooked yoghurt (jameed) after a mansaf.

Of course many people still do it nowadays but not like before. I still have some jameed from last lunch gathering so I called a dear auntie who still makes this dish and took the recipe. Thank you auntie Um Rakan, everybody loved it.

Ingredients and method:
* cooked yoghurt or jameed.
* 2 cups cooked brown lentils.
* 2-3 cups plain dough meaning only flour, salt and water. You can add a bit of instant yeast also.
* 2-3 thinly sliced onions.

* boil yoghurt then add lentils.
* devide dough to 4 parts then start rolling it to very thin pieces as wide and thin as you can.
* slice dough to thin stripes and keep adding flour so that they seperate.I used the pasta machine. Easier aa lot.
* add dough stripes to yoghurt mixture slowly and keep stirring so that they won’t clot.
* season with salt and pepper if needed.
* leave to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
* fry onions till brown and krispy to decorate dish in top.
* served hot.

Enjoy ♡♥♡♥
