I made this recipe last weekend for my family with the Chicken shawarma, Tzatziki sauce, Greek salad and Hummus. It all turned out so good. I made a curry type chicken salad with the leftover chicken shawarma and it was divine. I loved this Lentil & rice pilaf recipe so much. I also want to tell you that I really enjoy your cooking shows. Thank you for sharing your recipes!💛

All your recipes are awesome but now that I am a vegetarian again your vegetarian recipes are truly a welcome gift from Mount Olympus! I will take them with me when I’m in Europe soon. Everyone there are meat eaters except for salad, pita and bean soups so I will introduce them to veg life via your recipes!

I love all of your recipes. Greek cuisine is very similar to our Egyptian cuisine. Even you resemble Egyptian ladies ❤

Thank you for reminding me of this dish! I love it.. I think I’ll make it tomorrow 👍

Yes! Please make your version of the Middle Eastern lentil rice. I’ve made it for many years and always have had to add more flavors to it than what the very basic recipe calls for, like the carmelized onions.

Hmm... very interesting and great looking dish. There many recipes from Mediterranean counties using rice and lentils. I do it frequently. Mine is what I call pilaf..? Or pilau? In Scotland the old traders from India bought back kedgeree This one looks delicious too. Oh yummy!

Love the blue cooking pot. Is it vintage or a brand that's still made?

Hi from Melbourne congratulations on your show. Christine

[waywardpelican]

I made this. It turned out really well. I added a bit of oregano to it to bump up the flavor a bit. I will definitely keep this for my repertoire.
