So this is the recipe I've been waiting to come up with for a long time, one of the first recipes I remember from my grandmother, and the smell that spreads at home when you cook it is amazing, in addition it can be prepared even a day or two in advance and heated, still its taste will come out perfect. The perfect addition to rice is onion fried almost to burnt with chopped vegetable salad on the side and that's it. By the way, for those who exercise, this is one of the best recipes when you stay fit – it's full of protein because of the lentils in it. Feel free to prepare and write me down in the comments how it got out.
