Query string url to seo friendly url

i am trying to rewrite a URL for SEO purpose.

The old URL is:

http://www.example.com/recipe_local.php?hl_cusine=1

The new URL should be like bellow and automatic redirect to this url if user come above url

http://www.example.com/recipes/healthy-recipes

My Code in the .htaccess is:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^recipes/healthy-recipes/$ recipe_local.php?hl_cusine=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^recipes/healthy-recipes$ recipe_local.php?hl_cusine=$1 [NC,L]

Even after hours of research, i have no clue why this is not working :(

The $1 in your rewrite is pointing to a backreference you never capture.
Unless you have a RewriteCond you are not showing?
try: 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^recipes/healthy-recipes/$ recipe_local.php?hl_cusine=1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^recipes/healthy-recipes$ recipe_local.php?hl_cusine=1 [NC,L]
