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!💛
That light blue pot is gorgeous 😍
Thank you :) It's on Amazon.

I love all of your recipes. Greek cuisine is very similar to our Egyptian cuisine. Even you resemble Egyptian ladies ❤
She sounds like she has a Southern California accent... I grew up there, and there were lots of Greek people in my neighborhood... The kids of the Italians and the Greeks always had a feeling of kinship; our churches were next door to each other, we went to each other's parties and festivals, and we played together all the time. There was lots of similarities in our food and upbringing, and that's probably why we always felt closer to each other than to other ethnicities, although we all got along pretty well in general... As a kid in my old neighborhood, Dimitra would've been given a nickname that everyone could pronounce easily, such as "Didi" or "Dimi" or "Dee" or "Mimi"... I was always "Joe" or "Peppe", never "Giuseppe".
Her accent sounds more east coast to me. I’m from Los Angeles. But who knows :)
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!
Thank you koukla mou ! Going to make this for sure ! Na Se Kala ! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Oh my gosh, this looks delicious! I’ve been trying to get my husband to eat more lentils and this would be a great day. She would love this plus I just bought feta ha ha.
I'm trying this ms dimitra. Looks good. Keep cooking. Pamela in Detroit USA
Thanks again, Pamela. Love and best wishes from Houston!!
I am so glad I found your channel! I am trying to be healthy and lose weight but I love good food... This is perfect for me!
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!
Dimitra, I LOVE your recipes SO MUCH, thank you for sharing👍😊💕🙌💃!!!
I REALLY appreciate your time and support! Thank you :)
Looks delicious! Definitely making this!!!
Thank you for reminding me of this dish! I love it.. I think I’ll make it tomorrow 👍
Your take on mujadara would be great. Also if you know how to make koshari, an Egyptian lentil dish would be awesome
always delicious dishes and always come out perfectly ... thank you dimitra for the step by step
This should be in the vegetarian playlist
Easy, tasteful, simple dish!👍
I would love to learn about the spice blend. I’m trying to get my husband to try new things and he’s very willing to so I would love to get some ideas for spice blends.
Love the blue cooking pot. Is it vintage or a brand that's still made?
That smells sooo good.
I love it! Always delicious , thank you!
Yum!! Perfect for presanctified potluck..ty!

Thanks for this recipe
I will try this!
Look good but it seem difficult to cook, tks for share the recipe.
You were the only one who answered me thank you for being nice to me
Aww, I appreciate your support! Thanks so much for being here today 😊🤗
Super!!!!!merci
Hi Dimitra... this looks great! I only have white long grain rice right now. Can you tell me how to make this recipe with the white rice instead?
Thanks so much honey 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
Can I use red lentils, just adding them to the rice while cooking?
Can the lentils be made in an instant pot for this recipe
Necesito subtitulos en español!
I love all of your recipes and I am sure the Middle Eastern version of this rice will take it over the top as well please share it with us.
👍😊
I have one teaspoon of milk kefir grains.plz tell me how much milk required
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll be making this soon since I got a bags of lentils from my pantry here I live.. I want stuffed peppers with spanakopita filling in there if you could do it.
How many people does this dish serve?
Do another version by adding the camerilize onion
Hmmm... I was told to "never add salt to beans/lentils/chickpeas/pulses etc until they are soft, because the salt will toughen the skins"... Maybe it's just an old superstition? I've always followed that rule, and I've never had tough beans, so maybe there is something to it? Beans are cheap enough that I could do an experiment and find out for sure, but for now I'll stick with what works. (Salt at the finish, not the beginning.) Has anyone else heard of such a thing?
Another great video!
Can u switch out the rice with quinoa? Would u cook it the same way?
I would love to see a Middle Eastern version of this dish! Doesn't pilaf, sometimes have noodles in it, too?
Dal kichdi omg
You should get a ribbon for your videos... REFRESHINGLY TO THE POINT! and minus that horrible noise that masquerades as music, something most video makers add to their background. Besides all of that, your recipes are delicious!
I've made it with brown rice and it took me awfully lot of time.
For those wanting to use brown rice, as I did: cook the rice the typical way, just for 10 min less than normaly, before adding to this dish.
It was tasty though and I will make it again.
You have to be the best Greek show I have ever whach. I am not Greek so I have to learn everything ,but you make so easy 😊
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.
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.
Orthodox fasting season is now in overdrive. You should consider starting an Orthodox Lent culinary survival guide with 30-40 recipes. I could help you market it. Most of the southern churches are anglo converts and so it's all sack cloth and ashes to get through Lent cheaply and without misery :D I'm telling you... this is a hidden market for you. Doing this recipe this evening along with a Mediterranean take on Spinach/Turnip green Palak.
Hi from Melbourne congratulations on your show. Christine
Nistisimo! ❤ So fakoriso will be my go-to dish, it's a pain to explain vegetarian and nistisimo.
Dimitra, don't you find that re-using the lentil cooking liquid causes the dish to be a bit more gassy than usual?
Sometimes. You can discard the water is you like :)
Love love love lentils. Will DEFINITELY be making this.
Where did you get that BEAUTIFUL Teal eight sided Dutch oven. Checked you Amazon link, but I cant find that one
Wow, so a winter version of the lentil tabbouleh... very good. How are pomegranate's used in Greek cuisine?
Dimitra, I don’t know what it is with and the dishes, really touch my heart. Yours reminds me more of my heritage and my darling Mother’s cooking 🥲thank you
I love your dishes.thanks. I love the music too. Is that Greek instrumental music?
Thank you so much Dimitra
I made it today. It was easy to make and turned out really delicious.
Soooo delicious-looking. I cannot wait to make your recipes 💜
I was thinking of serving this rice with the skillet chicken.
Wonderful,thank you
If I am using canned lentils, should I just skip the cooking process? just add them to the rice?
Yes, because they're already cooked. Just add along with the rice. Enjoy!
I cooked it and it was incredibly delicious! Thank you!
Look good am going to try it
I hope you enjoy it!
Love these fasting videos!
Oreo.
Can this be frozen?
As usual, always clear and helpful. Thank you
Unfortunately, rice does not freeze well. But, it keeps fresh in the refrigerator (in an airtight container) for 4-5 days :)
This dish is amazing!! My husband had three servings and he’s picky with his rice. I usually like to leave out certain garnishes like parsley or lemon just because I want to eat certain things as is but I decided to try with parsley and lemon and it takes the rice to next level of flavor.
Parsley is the most under-used herb in America (where I live)... In Italian cooking, we use it a lot; it has a nice fresh flavor that goes well with any other herbs and seasonings. If you are trying any Mediterranean recipes, don't skip the parsley! It is very important ingredient; not just a garnish! 😁
So I made this dish, and I didn’t enjoy the smell, it is just me i guess, but it had an awesome taste!
