Persian rice & lentils

Mediterranean diet dinner recipes are remarkable ways to pack a whole bunch of healthy goodness into one simple meal that has you covered for lunch or dinner. The inspiration for this one comes from chef Nasim Alikhani and her traditional Persian dish of lentils and rice seasoned with layers and layers of warm flavors. I’ve simplified the spectacular restaurant version to make it easy to make at home so join me in my Mediterranean kitchen while we make an unforgettable meal seasoned with all the rich flavors of the Mediterranean diet.

I like to use my favorite pan, the braiser, so that I can go from stove to table, reduce the number of dishes and keep everything piping hot while I serve it up!
