[@agnesschein7874]

I'm Hungarian and here we all know about that paprika-fact since 5th grade but only because who "discovered" vitamin C (even got the Nobel-prize for that) was a Hungarian biochemist, Albert Szent-Györgyi. He made his research also with paprika. ^^

A tip: the water you use for rinsing the lentils and sterilizing the jars you could use it to water your plants instead of wasting it :)

One tip to eat more iron: When you're making rice, swap out a third or half of the rice with brown or green lentils and cook them together. No effort but adds some more protein, nutrients and variety to your meals!

[@dorissherrill9724]

I do that, however, I don't cook rice but farro. I love the chewy, nutty texture and taste. I also add quinoa at times. Makes a great hearty grain combo.

[@blueprint2734]

Omg yes i do that when i eat kushari, it's a vegan Egyptian dish and i love it so much

Blue Print I looked up the dish, it seems very tasty, can’t wait to make it! Do you have a specific recipe you’d recommend?

[@blueprint2734]

@@sandat8480 i think kushari will be delicious with any recipe because it's the same ingredient but, if you like spicy food you can hot sauce and make sure to squeeze some lemon!! And if you are adding the onions make them crispy ✨✨
