The ingredients for Moroccan Lentil Salad are:

Lentils (green or brown - red ok too).
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 tomato
3 tbsp of fresh parsley and coriander (cilantro)
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp coriander seed
Olive oil
Water

Here is how you make Moroccan Lentil Salad:

Rinse lentils and set aside in a bowl - covered with water. They'll expand - so give them some room.Meanwhile, chop the onion and garlic finely, also chop the tomato finely and set aside for the moment.If you are using whole spices - crack them in a mortar or grind them in a spice grinder.Put the onion and garlic into a deep pan with olive oil and simmer, stirring, until the onion is tender - but not browned.Add the tomato and spices, and simmer until the tomato is tender.Add the lentils and cover with water to one fingers-width above the lentils.Cook on low until lentils are soft - add more water if necessary. The tomato should make a slightly goopy sauce at the end, it should not become dry.Meanwhile, chop the fresh herbs and set aside. Add them in about 30sec before taking the lentils off the heat - so that they are wilted, but still fresh-tasting.Add salt to taste. Should make two side-dish-size servings.This goes best as one of two dishes - especially if the other dish is full of vegetables eg Zaalouk. Serve with flat-bread or CousCous.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TARYNEAST.
