Persian Rice And Lentils - Tony's Comfort Kitchen

I call this dish Persian rice and lentils, but really it's a dish I made up or at least added my own take on a video I saw online, so it's Persian-style. Now as you may already know, I have one or two vegetarian videos on my channel, but not much in the way of vegan dishes. I was over the moon when I tasted this dish, as rice and lentils didn't really sound that appetising and it turned out to be so tasty. Far better than I had imagined. The fruit, nuts and lemon juice really give it a taste punch. Eat it on its own or alongside grilled meat or fish. Vegans and non-vegans will equally love this.

200g green lantils
200g basmati rice
