Thanks Johnnae,
you are fast and good, as always.
hm...boiled and with vinegar... not too bad.. But butter I think would count as 
'animal fat' and thus a nono in this specific case...
I seem to recall chibols are onions?

A Muzawwara (Vegetarian Dish) Beneficial for Tertian Fevers and Acute  
Fevers. Take boiled peeled lentils and wash in hot water several  
times; put in the pot and add water without covering them; cook and  
then throw in pieces of gourd, or the stems [ribs] of Swiss chard, or  
of lettuce and its tender sprigs, or the flesh of cucumber or melon,  
and vinegar, coriander seed, a little cumin, Chinese cinnamon, saffron  
and two ?qiyas of fresh oil; balance with a little salt and cook.  
Taste, and if its flavor is pleasingly balanced between sweet and  
sour, [good;] and if not, reinforce until it is equalized, according  
to taste, and leave it to lose its heat until it is cold and then serve.
