2 c Basmati rice (*)
2 Onions, peeled
-(thinly sliced) 1/2 c Red lentils (*)
7 oz Sour cherries,
-or more (*) 2 c Chicken or meat
-broth (*) 4 T Butter, unsalted,
-or more Turmeric, cumin, salt In a 4-5 quart Dutch oven, melt most of the butter and slowly brown the onions. Add the cleaned lentils and fry a bit; then the same for the cleaned rice. Stir constantly, browning the rice without letting it stick. Add the cherries and about 2 1/4 cups liquid made up of cherry liquid, stock and water. Add about 1/4 - 1 t turmeric and about 1/4 t ground cumin if desired; add necessary salt (depending on the saltiness of your broth). Bring to a boil, stir with a fork, cover tightly, and let cook over the very lowest heat for about 20 minutes. Fluff up the rice with a fork (never a spoon) and add the remaining butter to the bottom of the pot. Raise the heat slightly for 5-10 mins to form a crust on the bottom (with the right technique, this should be possible without this step...). Serve, making sure to include a bit of crust in each serving. NOTES: * Pilaf with sour cherries and lentils -- This Pilaf with sour cherries and lentils is a Persian-style dish, although I cannot vouch for its authenticity. It is rich enough to eat for dinner by itself; as a side dish, it might be good with a spiced grilled chicken or a lamb stew. It is a composite of recipes from cookbooks and from a Iranian Jewish family I know. * An excellent side dish is yoghurt, possibly flavored (like the Indian raita) with one or more of: fresh chopped herbs (parsley, coriander, mint), some salt, some spice (paprika, black pepper, black onion seed, or coriander seed), olive oil and lemon juice. Even better than yoghurt as a base is strained yoghurt, also called Lebany Spread or Lebanee, available commercially in New England from Columbo or Eunuch (look in Armenian/Arab/Greek stores). * Basmati or Patna rice is a particularly flavorful and long-grained rice from India or Pakistan. Any Indian store and many "natural foods" stores carry it. It is well worth the premium price (about $1.10 a pound); "Texmati" is apparently the same strain grown in Texas, but does not have anything like the same taste. Inspect and clean it before using, there are often unhusked grains and occasionally pebbles mixed in. Then rinse in two changes of water and drain thoroughly. If you cannot get Basmati, use a good-quality unconverted long-grain rice (Alma, Carolina, but NOT Uncle Ben's!). * Red lentils are about half the diameter of ordinary brown lentils. Do not substitute brown lentils, which will probably not cook fast enough. Red lentils are available in Indian, Middle Eastern and some "natural foods" stores. They often contain largish pebbles, so inspect them carefully. Rinse to get rid of dust, and drain. Red lentils are also very good by themselves, simply boiled with a few spices and served with butter. * Sour cherries (in the Middle East, v/w + i + s/sh + n + e/a/ino: Greek Vissino, Slavic and Turkish Vishnea, Arabic Wishna) are available fresh for about one week a year. Most sour cherries go into cherry syrups, pies and preserves. Canned sour cherries are quite good. You will usually find them in the home pie-making section of your market, near the canned blueberries and baker's supplies, or with the canned fruits. There are occasional stones. (That is, pits, not rocks!) Middle Eastern stores will often have sour cherry preserves, which are too sweet for this recipe. * Almost any stock or broth will work in this recipe. Chicken or lamb is most appropriate, in the latter case, used rather dilute. This is one of the few recipes where you can actually get away with canned chicken broth, but watch the salt. : Difficulty: easy to moderate. : Time: 30-40 minutes. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Stavros Macrakis : Aiken Computation Laboratory, Harvard : macrakis@harvard.ARPA : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust

▶️ INGREDIENTS for Quinoa Recipes: (3 to 4 servings)
1 cup/190g Quinoa (soaked for about 30 minutes)
3 Tbsp Olive oil
1+1/2 cup 200g Onion
1+1/2 Tbsp Garlic or to taste - finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp Ginger or to taste - finely chopped
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1/4 + 3/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
150g / 1 cup Carrots
130g / 1 cup Green Beans
200g / 1 cup Tomatoes - chopped
70g / 1/2 cup Frozen Green Peas
325ml / 1+1/3 cup Water OR AS REQUIRED (???? Sometimes one batch of quinoa can be more dry than the other, SO ADJUST THE COOKING WATER QUANTITY ACCORDINGLY)
100g / 3+1/2 cup Spinach - LEAVES ONLY (I have added baby spinach)
Lemon juice to taste (I have added 1/2 tablespoon)
Ground Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
1/2 cup / 70g Cashews (Toasted)
2 Tablespoon / 5g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) - very finely chopped
▶️ METHOD:
Start by thoroughly washing the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear and then soak in water for about 30 minutes. Once the quinoa is soaked, drain the water from the quinoa and let it sit in the strainer.
To a heated pan add the cooking oil, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to onion will release its moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium to medium-high heat until it just starts to brown.
Once the onion has starts, add the finely chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds. Then add carrots, green beans and spices (Turmeric, Paprika,Ground Cumin, Ground Coriander, Cayenne Pepper) and mix well. Fry on medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the soaked quinoa, chopped tomatoes, frozen peas, salt and water to the pan. Bring it to a vigorous boil. Then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Once the quinoa is cooked, turn off the stove. RIGHT AWAY ADD THE SPINACH LEAVES WHILE THE QUINOA IS STILL STEAMING HOT, SO THAT THE SPINACH CAN WILT FROM THE HEAT. Along with lemon juice and ground black pepper and mix thoroughly BUT GENTLY. Top it with toasted cashews and chopped cilantro (coriander leaves). Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
???? Sometimes one batch of quinoa can be more dry than the other, SO ADJUST THE COOKING WATER QUANTITY ACCORDINGLY
???? After the quinoa is cooked. RIGHT AWAY ADD THE SPINACH LEAVES WHILE THE QUINOA IS STILL STEAMING HOT, SO THAT THE SPINACH CAN WILT FROM THE HEAT.
