Lentils ( mujadara)

Hello everybody.

Lots of events going on today,I went out to breakfast with my lovely friends to celebrate dear Wafa’s birthday, early this morning I baked another Nescafe Cake, I think this one will be my trademark from now on,with the same ornament and flowers. Everybody enjoyed it and was a delightful surprise.

Back home I got the nicest present from my lovely niece Layan,a box of mixed herbs from Istanbul, thank you dear 🙂

At lunch time plans changed a bit,I’ve  already cooked some lentils before I left ,thought I’ll make one of Mary’s recipes from her lovely book “On Healthy Cooking” but then discovered I don’t have all ingredients available,so ended up making mjadara with fried onions and some salad.

here are links for today’s recipes;

Spinach with Rice.

Hello everybody.
Though everybody don’t like spinach at home specially my husband but I couldn’t resist but buy the fresh green bunch. I like it cooked with meat once in a while plus it’s very healthy and full of nutrients and iron.

Ingredients and method:
*fresh cleaned chopped spinach.
* minced meat.
* garlic and onion. Finely chopped.
* salt, pepper , all spice and lemon juice.

* saute meat till almost done with olive oil.
* add onions and garlic, saute till tender.
* add spinach and all seasoning.
* leave to simmer till done 35-40 minutes.
* serve with rice, lemon juice and pickles.

Absolutely delicious. ♡♥♡♥.
