What’s for Dinner Mrs. Skinner–Gluten Free Vegan Mizidra

One of our favorite recipes for over 30 years now is Mizidra which is gluten-free and vegan! It is an easy crowd-pleaser for company! I have never had anyone NOT like it! Think Middle Eastern Tostada with rice as the tortilla!

First, cook a pot of lentils…

Adding marjoram and thyme are key to giving these lentils amazing flavor. While your lentils are cooking, also cook a pot of brown rice.

You can use white rice but I like the extra nourishment and flavor of short grain brown rice.

On your plate, layer rice, then lentils, then whatever you would normally put on a tostada…shredded lettuce, sweet onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, chopped avocado, salsa, sour cream or plain yogurt!

Oh. My. Yum! I could eat this every week for the rest of my life! Oh wait! We nearly do that now:)))

Mizidra

from Recipes from the Weimar Kitchen cookbook

  • 2 dry lentils
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. chicken-style seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Gluten Free Tamari Sauce (or soy sauce if not gluten free)
  • 1 tsp. marjoram
  • 1/8 tsp. thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Bring above ingredients to a boil on the stove then reduce heat and simmer till done (about an hour).

  • 2-3 cups cooked brown rice
  • chopped sweet onion
  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes
  • chopped avocado
  • chopped olives
  • salsa
  • sour cream or plain yogurt (I use tofu sour cream)

Assemble ingredients on individual plates as you would a tostado:

  1. first layer–rice
  2. second layer–lentils
  3. then chopped onion, lettuce, tomato, etc.
  4. top with salsa and sour cream

If you try this recipe, I am sure it will become one of your favorites too!

Next Wednesday I will share my recipe for Chicken-style Seasoning and Tofu Sour Cream! These recipes are real money savers and DELICIOUS!
