Ingredients

1	large	onion	finely chopped
1/3	cup	vegetable oil
1	teaspoon	turmeric
2 1/2	cups	water
1/4	cup	lemon juice
1	x	salt
1	x	black pepper	freshly ground
8	each	scallions, spring or green onions
1/2	pound	spinach	leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4	pound	parsley leaves	fresh, chopped
2	ounces	cilantro	fresh, chopped
2	ounces	garlic chives	chopped
1	cup	brown lentils	rinsed

Directions

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.

Shrimp Paesano

Was very fast to prepare once the shrimp was marinated. Makes for great presentation and texture makes this dish a keeper. We served with some linguine and crusty italian bread.
