Armenian Lentil Soup

From Neva & Jim Brackett’s 7 Secrets Cookbook. Makes a very healthy meal that’s delicious! Spinach and tomatoes are added after the cooking is completed to keep their distinct green and red color, and give the soup eye appeal. I usually freeze half of this recipe to feed my family of four again later.

Armenian Rice and Noodles

My daughters call this “Noodle Rice” and we have some variation on it several times a month. I’ve used broken spaghetti, vermicelli, and orzo in place of the egg noodles (choose eggless pasta to be totally vegan…well, duh, you knew that!) I also usually throw in a handful of golden raisins with it and up the water just a bit to account for plumping them up – the kids eat those first! Be creative…substitute a little lemon juice for part of the water if it’s going with fish, etc. A nice, reliable add-on to dinner, originally from “Betty Crocker’s New Int’l Cookbook.”

Armenian Rice Pilaf

From a dear Armenian friend. I have made this for 25 years. It is so easy and always comes out perfect. This to me is the true pilaf.
