Rice and lentil pilaf
Description
Let's prepare a rice and lentil pilaf at home. This dish comes from Arab countries, and it is said that this pilaf was traditionally for the poor, so only the most basic ingredients are used: rice, lentils, onion, salt, and water. I suggest adding a few familiar ingredients, such as chicken meat, carrots, and fresh herbs for garnish. Good luck!
