I joined a cooking club and it's been pretty fun. HouseHold6 issues a challenge at the beginning of the month and we all cook something up, and then blog about it.
So this months challenge was make something that you think would be good in an MRE (Meal ready to Eat) since those things are rarely know for being tasty
So I have been trying to some up with something new for this challenge, some hearty and nutritious new dish. But I just kept going back to Harira.
Not only is it my husbands favorite dish, its full of good stuff.
For protein we have chick peas, lentils, and in the MRE's I would add some cooked chicken. Right after cooking the onions, and before adding everything else, I would saute some diced chicken in with the onions. Then simmer it all together until the lentils and rice are cooked.
It's also made with brown rice, lots of veggies, and of course some great spices.

I've never heard of Harira before, but your linked recipe looks really quite yummy! I'm adding it to my very long list of recipes to try! lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a new recipe to me. Sounds very good and not too heavy of a meal as well!
ReplyDeleteSounds very good. I've been meaning to experiment with Moroccan spices.
