Wali wa Mseto
- MSETO- RICE AND GREEN LENTILS
- Ingredients:
- Half kg- rice
- ¾ kg green lentils
- coconut milk
- salt
Methods
Soak the lentils overnight, In the morning, wash and drain.
then put to cook with just enough water to keep them simmering
over a low heat until nearly done. By this time they will
have absorbed most of the water.
Now add the thin coconut milk and cook for a little while
together, then add the rice. Continue to simmer slowly until
both the rice and lentils are "mushy". Now add the thick
coconut milk, stir round to mix, and simmer for a few moments.
This can be kept warm in the oven, or served at once. Mseto
can be served with any curry dish, but goes particularly well
with a curry of fish or prawns. This recipe can also be made
with coarsely-ground lentils in which case the overnight
soaking will not he necessary.
