Watch my preparation video on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can easily make this recipe with red or yellow lentils instead of green mountain lentils. The great thing is, these types don\u2019t need soaking overnight. On top of that, red lentils cook much faster \u2013 they\u2019re ready in just about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Lentils bring so many health benefits, and I share more about that on my blog. By the way, I also have another recipe called Adassi, but that one is a lentil soup. In Iran, this often causes confusion. People always ask, \u201cIs it the spread or the stew?\u201d If you\u2019re curious, you can find my recipe for Adassi \u2013 Persian Lentil Stew here.<\/p>\n Do you love legumes? I have plenty of recipes waiting for you. For the perfect meal, enjoy this spread with homemade bread, like my no-knead saffron bread baked in a pot or Nan-e Taftoon, a Persian pan bread.<\/p>\n 200 g green mountain lentils*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 1 onion<\/p>\n 1 tsp turmeric*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2 garlic cloves<\/p>\n 50 ml bitter orange juice or regular orange juice<\/p>\n 2 tbsp lime juice<\/p>\n A bit of olive oil<\/a>*<\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 tsp advieh*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 tsp cumin*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/4 tsp coriander*<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n Wash the green mountain lentils in a sieve and soak them overnight in cold water.<\/p>\n The next day, chop the onion and fry it in a pan until it\u2019s soft and translucent.
