LEARN HOW TO MAKE AN AWESOME LENTIL + CHICKPEA RICE RECIPE TONIGHT!
LAY HO MA (how's it going in Cantonese)! When two of my favourite ingredients come together, magic happens! Join me in this episode and learn how to make an easy lentil and chickpea rice recipe tonight!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown rice
3/4 cups water
1/4 cup brown lentils (pre-soaked)
400ml canned chickpeas
pinch + 1/4 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp avocado oil
1 red onion
1/2 cucumber
1 tomato
30g parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp za'atar
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Rinse and drain the brown rice a couple of times to get rid of the excess starch. Add 3/4 cups of water and set aside. Drain the pre-soaked lentils and add to the brown rice. Heat up on medium high heat
2. In the meantime, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas and add to a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, smoked paprika, and avocado oil. Toss to coat, then spread onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 25mins
3. When the water on the brown rice beings to boil, give it a really good stir. Then, cover and cook on medium low for 15mins
4. Dice the red onion, cucumber, and tomato. Roughly chop the parsley. Add these ingredients into a large mixing bowl
5. After 15mins, turn the heat off on the brown rice and allow it to steam further for another 10mins
6. Make the dressing by combining the lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper to taste, za'atar, tahini, and olive oil
7. When the brown rice is done, fluff with a rice paddle. Add to the mixing bowl along with the roasted chickpeas. Add half of the dressing and mix to combine (taste and add more dressing if desired)

Veni, Vidi… Recipe read yesterday. Lentils in water overnight. Started getting ingredients ready at six o’clock this morning. Completed the recipe. Cooled it in the fridge. Than in a few thermos for a cycling lunch with a friend. So delicious… and so healthy. Vici!

[@adityaniyogi9123]

Yummy, being an Indian we have almost have all the ingredients. But your dishes gives it a total new outlook. Thank you.

[@himanv]

Yea, his takes just add a different flavor to the ingredients. So far I've enjoyed all that I've made using his recipes. It's a good twist to the usual Indian masaledaar khana which we enjoy :)

Made this for my lunches this week and it delivers! Simple, fresh, satisfying, inexpensive, and high-protein. Might become one of my go-tos!

I just made this today, exactly as written. It is so good! Top marks from both of us. I know it serves four but there are only two of us, sooo…😊. Needless to say, we devoured almost all of it. Thank you, Will. I’d like to add that I bought the Za’Tar spice and it will not go to waste. It’s a lovely blend.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Wonderful! 🙌🏻

[@ncook1970]

we’re do we buy the ZaTar

[@monakhairallah9056]

Thank you. Delicious, affordable and healthy ingredients . Doubly appreciated in our cost of living crisis.

[@Gabi13198]

Yay, another easy recipe with common ingredients that anyone can get. And so protein packed. Again, also love the background music as it gets almost triumphant towards the end. 10 out of 10!

[@nancywalker1325]

Zatar and Tahini aren't so common.

[@Gabi13198]

I got them from my local Walmart.

[@JonTanOsb]

@@nancywalker1325 I had to Google them, too. To make your own Zatar: Mix together dried thyme, oregano, sumac, and lightly toasted sesame seeds. To make Tahini: toast sesame seeds, cool, put in food processor to make a paste. Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@jacquilf4613]

What is Zatar? I live in Spain. I have to make this ❤

[@Rageify]

​@@nancywalker1325 depends on where you are. They're a staple here in Lebanon 😅

I learned to love the Canton cookery, as well as Vietnamese home cooking, while working at a restaurant owned and run by a Fong family. Oh, how I miss those exquisitely simple and flavorful meals! The owners fed me their traditional dishes, not on the menu. So I am happy to find you and follow your vids, dear one!

[@andiincali.4663]

You're so lucky! To have that immersion experience. I love Asian food of any kind.

Hi there, i'm not one who regualrly leaves reviews or comments.. but i had to say we loved LOVED this recipe.. i watched this with my 7 year old daughter.. who said mum this looks delicious !!! Lets make it! We had almost everything apart from canned chickpeas! And flat leaf parsely! So today for dinner we made this! My 3 year old and 7 year old daughters couldnt get enough of this ! Infact my 7 year old has asked to take the leftovers for lunch for school tomorrow! I want to say Will, we as a family really really appreciated this tonight.. a simple yummy nutritious meal, that my kids were excited about.. after a very stressful week, was so lovely.. it brightened up our week in a way we cant explain! Thank you so so much! ❤ this will be added to our weekly meals.. love from Jazmine, Emilio, Beatrice and Ilaria (originally English, now live in Sicily)
