Ingredients

▢ ½ cup red lentils (95 grams)
▢ ⅓ cup tahini
▢ 2 cloves garlic
▢ 3 tablespoon lemon juice
▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
▢ chopped herbs, sumac, paprika, or olive oil (for garnish and topping)

Instructions

Add the lentils and 1 cup of water to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes.
Take the lentils off of the heat and remove the cover. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
