Rishta Serial

[Curtis Cassel]

Rishtais a Lebanese lentils and pasta soup that is simple yet huge on flavor. Made with golden onions that have been simmered with brown lentils and pasta in broth with hints of parsley. Naturally vegan and can be made gluten free.

Rishta is a dish from the Middle East that can be found in Lebanon or Syria and is also known as Rishtaya or Rishtayeh or macarona bi adas.

It is an easy and simple meal of lentils and pasta which is inexpensive.

Traditionally the pasta was home made but any type of pasta can be used. It is very popular with pappardelle.

This rishta recipe is vegan friendly. I have also used gluten free pasta in these photos.

Brown lentils are the main flavoring of this dish. I prefer to use dry lentils, which are soaked prior to using. However if you are short on time, you can use canned lentils. Be sure to wash and rinse prior to using.

Pasta is the other main component of this rishta recipe. Traditionally, handmade pasta is used, nowadays, store bought pappardelle is commonly used. For the sake of my diet, I will be using a similar vegan and gluten free tagliatelle.

Step 1 - Sort and wash lentils (get rid of any unwanted debris) then soak in double the amount of hot water for at least 30 minutes. Do this whilst preparing the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2 - Over high heat, in a non-stick pot, add olive oil and onion and fry until golden. Drain lentils and add to the onions along with the salt, pepper, paprika, half of the parsley and half of the water. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes (if using canned lentils this can be around 15 minutes) or until lentils are par-boiled. See notes in the recipe card below.

Step 2 - Break pasta into bite sized pieces and add to the lentils along with the remaining water. Cook for another 8-10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of parsley.
