🧂 Ingredienti
- 1 cup Red lentils(rinsed)

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
If using meat, brown the diced lamb or beef in a pot with 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add the rinsed red lentils and rice to the pot. Stir for a minute.
- 4
Pour in the water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until lentils and rice are tender and the mixture has thickened to a porridge consistency.
- 5
While the porridge simmers, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and fry until deeply golden and slightly crispy. This is the 'gowurdak' topping.
- 6
Once the porridge is cooked, stir in the cooked meat (if using), salt, and pepper. If it's too thick, add a little more water or broth.

Serve the porridge hot, topped with the crispy fried onions.
