Mujadara and Chocolate Cheese Mousse

MUJADARA:

• Heat the olive oil, then gently caramelize the chopped onions until soft and golden brown. Add a pinch of salt and pour in half a liter of water. Close the pot (or Cook4me device) and cook under pressure for 5 minutes.
• Add the lentils (pre-boiled for 5 minutes), basmati rice, cumin, bay leaf, finely chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook everything together until the lentils and rice are fully tender - in the Cook4me for another 5 minutes under pressure, or if using a regular pan or pot, cover and simmer over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a bit of water if needed.

CHOCOLATE CHEESE MOUSSE:

• In a food processor or blender, combine the cheese, cocoa powder, almonds, and chia seeds. Blend until you get a uniform mixture. Then add agave syrup, honey, or another sweetener of your choice, adjusting the sweetness to your taste.
• Add the raisins that were previously soaked in liqueur, and blend everything until smooth and creamy.
• Optionally, reserve some of the raisins for decoration before serving.
