Cook’s Note: I used to work in Saudi Arabia and this recipe was given to me by my Saudi friend. We have this for breakfast like a dip with pita bread or as a vegetarian dip option for parties. You can also add more water to make it into “Lentil Soup”. Lentils can also be soaked in cold water a few hours before cooking to cut down cooking time.

SERVES: Approximately 4
