Spelt and Black Lentil Majadra

Without compromising on the flavor, I added more nutritious to the dish, by using

 spelt instead of the traditional rice. The texture is very crunchy and unique. I personally enjoy the distinct combination of texture and flavors. It is pure comfort food:)

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, thinly chopped

1 large clove of garlic, minced

2 cups dry spelt

1 cup black lentils

4 cups water

+Salt

+Pepper

Directions:

In a wide saucepan add olive oil, onion, salt and pepper. Sauté for couple of minutes, then add minced garlic, sauté for a couple more minutes and add the spelt and lentils, keep sautéing for about 2 minutes, then add water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour or until the water have completely soaked into the spelt. Serve warm.
