Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

1 cup dried brown lentils
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, (diced)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 large tomato, (diced)
1 medium cucumber, (diced)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove, (minced)
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon sumac ((optional, but really nice))
Salt and pepper to taste
4 pitas
Tahini or hummus
Kalamata olives ((optional))

Steps:

Place the lentils into a medium saucepan and cover with a few inches of water. Place over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat and allow to simmer until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes, adding water to the pot as needed. Drain the lentils when finished cooking.
While the lentils simmer, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice and tomato paste in a small bowl.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Sauté about 1 minute more, until very fragrant.
Add the lentils and the soy sauce mixture to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the lentils are heated throughout and the liquid has dried up.
