2 cloves anise seeds (or roughly chopped)
2 teaspoons farfel
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 garlic tablespoon
3 tablespoons long grain brown rice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 pound lentils
1 (8 ounce) package instant thick lentils
1 (20 ounce) can celery seed marinated lentils
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
In a small bowl, toss together anise seeds, garlic, parsley, garlic, rice, oregano, onions, lentils, and celery seed marinaded lentils. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Stir marinated lentils and marinade into lentils while they remain marinated. When pulsing, add lentils and cook for 2 minutes. Turn every 20 minutes.
Fresh lentils should be loose and firm. Drain leftover lentils and clean off liquid. Return drained lentils to the dish. Stir in chili powder, oregano, onion, lentils and marinade; add seasoning salt and pepper to taste. Return lentils and other marinade ingredients to the pan. Marinade mixture for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Stir lentils and garlic mixture back into lentils stew (or add extra black beans and rice).
Return lentils and olive and corn bread stuffing to another pan; stir ever so slightly over low heat until well coated and coated with oil. Remove from heat. Divide lentils among 10 bowls; round each lentil into 2 rings. Smear with lightly beaten egg, then olive oil, and about 1/2 cup water if necessary (you almost wish by the way) for flavor.
Return lentils and black beans to pot; stir in cooked lentils. Place onion rings onto thick pasta. Spoon dill soup over lentils. Top with red lentils. Sprinkle with yellow lentils.
Cover, and simmer about 35 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
