Jerusalem Mejadra

June is our newest colleague in the kitchen and she brings great inspiration! Like this Middle Eastern dish, with the warm flavours of cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin, which are used to prepare the rice and lentils. We fry the onions until golden brown and soft, adding a sweet taste. The roasted cherry tomatoes and fennel provide beautiful colours on your plate! The yoghurt dip with lemon zest and fresh mint adds a refreshing touch to the Mejadra.

Fennel, cherry tomatoes, white onion, garlic, lemon zest, fresh mint, green lentils, chickpeas, turmeric, homemade garam masala (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, green cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, fennel seeds, bay leaf, cloves), yoghurt, basmati rice, pepper and salt, sunflower oil.
