Mujadara (Lebanese Lentils with Rice)

by Jenan Zammar January 10, 2022
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Mujadara is an inexpensive, nutritious and tasty meal that is great any time of the year. It can be made with bulgur or rice and every region has their version of how to make it. The main ingredients are brown lentils, rice and onions.

I remember my mom making this dish often when I was a child and it wasn’t my favourite meal. But since she said it was good for me and really left me no choice but to eat it, I did. Haha. I learned to appreciate the health benefits of this dish and make it often now for my children!

It’s great served with a lemony based salad such as Fattoush. Plain yogurt on the side with pickled turnips and pickles complete the meal perfectly.
