Description
This is a fantastic lentil dish. In my quest to find healthier food that my family liked and would actually eat, i decided to try this recipe. It was demonstrated on t.v. By ali sabbah from the mazza cafe, a jewish restaurant, in salt lake city. My family just ate this up, even my picky five year old boy. I had to post it before i lost the recipe.
