Lentil And Greens Khoreshe

Mary was more blessed in accepting the faith of Christ than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. To someone who said, 'Blessed is the womb that bore you,' [Jesus] replied, 'Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.' Finally, for His brothers, His relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in Him, of what advantage was that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh.

INSTRUCTIONS

A 'khoreshe' is a sauce-like main dish, to be served with rice.
'Tareh' resembles leeks, but much smaller, and has a garlic flavor.  In
a heavy pan, brown the onion in oil over medium heat, stirring
frequently.  Add turmeric and fry for another minute or so. Add
remaining ingredients, stir, and cover. Decrease heat to low and let
simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes.  Adjust seasonings
if necessary and serve khoreshe with the best quality of rice you can
obtain; basmati is what I recommend. Wholemeal flatbread is nice  also,
especially for dipping into the khoreshe.  Variation: Substitute 1/2
pound of fresh or frozen fava beans for the  lentils.  Decrease water
to 1-1/2 cups.  Copyright 1995 Karen Mintzias Redondo Beach, CA USA ---
