how to hide id from an url using htaccess mod-rewrite?

I am using this code in my htaccess to rewrite my urls

RewriteRule ([0-9]*)-([^/]*)\.html$ index.php?menu_id=$1&menu=$2 [qsappend]

This rewrites my URL to:

www.site.com/1-home.html

Where 1 is the id(menu_id) and home is the name of menu.

I have been looking around for a solution where I would be able to rewrite the URLs to:

www.site.com/home.html

Hiding the menu_id part.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Here is how. 

RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?menu_id=1&menu=$1 [qsappend]

Edit: You have to compensate for the fact that you won't know the menu id. for instance i put a 1 there, bc i assume you want all your menu id's to be one.

Here is your code broken down:

# here is where your id is located in the code
#               |  This is the dash in your code
#               |   |  This is your home part
#               v   v   v
RewriteRule ([0-9]*)-([^/]*)\.html$ index.php?menu_id=$1&menu=$2 [qsappend]
#           |_____________________| |__________________________|
#                  Rewrite                     script

# www.site.com/1-home.html
