Brought this to an oyster bake (since we weren't gonna eat any oysters) and everyone loved it! It's a made-up version of something we had a few times at an Iranian restaurant in California.
rice
lentils (French green ones cook quickly & have a pepper-y flavor)
onions
garlic
dried dates (or raisins)
dried cherries
almonds
tumeric
paprika
garlic
salt
pepper
Cook lentils and rice (as much as you want). On the side, fry onions, garlic, and spices together...then thrown in the fruits and carmelize. Mix all with the lentils and rice, add more fruit and nuts. The dates or raisins will get mushy and sweet and sort of melt into the dish. Sweet-n-savory. Yummmmmm.

I am soooo making this! It looks scrumptious...
Always on the look out for dishes that are sweet and savory in the same bite.
