Megadarra (Syrian Lentils and Rice)
Hi Everyone! Today I want to share with you a very simple recipe that is perfect during lent for meatless Fridays. My sitto (grandma in Arabic) used to make it all the time! It is extremely easy to make, delicious, and very healthy! This meal goes very well with any kind of pickles and also beets. I served mine with pickled beets and baby dill pickles. Pepperoncini peppers and pickled turnips also go extremely well with this meal. I hope you will enjoy it!

This dish is super low in points, very healthy, and it is delicious; like regular roasted cauliflower, but with a seriously awesome amped up flavor! It is also super easy (and fun!) to make! I hope…
