Ingredients
  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tomato, cubed
  • 1/4 cup sliced olives
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons minced green onion
Instructions
1
First, submerge the red lentils in a container filled with water and allow them to become tender after sitting for approximately 2 hours. Drain the lentils.
2
Next, preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it lightly with 2 teaspoons of oil.
3
In a food processor, combine the lentils along with an onion, garlic, 1/2 bunch of parsley, cilantro, and 1/4 cup of green onions. Process the mixture until it reaches a finely ground consistency.
4
Transfer the lentil mixture to a large bowl and add 1/3 cup of oil, an egg, baking powder, black pepper, chile powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
5
Spread the dough out to a thickness of 1/4 inch onto the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake the dough in the preheated oven until it is golden and firm, taking around 15 minutes to achieve this. Remove the baked dough from the oven.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, and salt until the sauce is smooth.
8
Layer the sauce, Cheddar cheese, tomato, olives, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and 2 teaspoons of green onion on top of the baked dough.
9
Return the dish to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, taking about 5 minutes to achieve this.
