Chard Gosht #

Recipe that I have tried, and can vouch for 😊
This is a combined version of two different dishes: Sakhpaita (spinach and lentils) and Daal Gosht (lentils and meat).

Ingredients #

• Green lentils (moong daal) – about 2 cups
• Lamb (small pieces, diced) – ½ kg
• Swiss chard (finely sliced) – 1 bunch
• Fresh coriander (chopped) – 1 bunch
• Onion (chopped) – 2
• Garlic (finely chopped) – 4 cloves
• Ground cumin – ½ teaspoon
• Black pepper – 5 (whole)
• Salt – to taste
• Olive oil – ½ cup
• Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
• Water – 6 cups

Recipe #

1. Pressure cook the lentils with water, then simmer until the lentils are nearly cooked.
2. In a separate pot, sauté the onions with half the olive oil for 5 minutes.
3. Add the meat, cumin, salt, and black pepper, and cook until browned.
4. Add the cooked lentils along with their water to the meat mixture.
5. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the lentils and meat are almost done.
6. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil, sauté the garlic, add the chopped coriander, and cook for 1 minute.
7. Stir the garlic-coriander mixture into the lentils.
8. Add the Swiss chard and lemon juice, cook over low heat for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Enjoy with roti or rice!
