644. Rice and Lentils
This entry on the list was really one of those items which can refer to a few different things - basically any dish which was a combination of rice and lentils would count. I chose to make kitchiri, which is pretty much exactly rice, lentils and not a lot else (onion and some spices). This is a dish that I used to make myself all the time at uni because not only does it taste great, it also costs practically nothing, and is made entirely out of ingredients that I have in my house at all times. It’s very easy, you just need to fry some onions and garlic, add spices (cumin, coriander, cinnamon, whatever you fancy), add rice and red lentils and stir them around, then just add stock gradually as if you were making a risotto.
645. Blade Mace
I haven’t added mace to this dish before, but I had some great chunks of blade mace that I bought on holiday so I thought I’d add some to give a bit of extra warmness to the spices. The flavour worked great, I just had to be careful not to eat it as it was the same colour as the rice turned out!
