Mujadara (Middle Eastern) Recipe
by Danielle Hamdan
(Dayton, OH)
Mujadara
Ingredients:
- 2 cups parboiled rice (Uncle Ben's)
- 1 cup green/brown lentils
- 1 large onion
- Salt to taste
- Good dash of olive oil
- Middle eastern spice, any spices you want really; it is a versatile dish
Directions:
Rinse and soak the lentils for 10 minutes. Bring 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil, add rice, cook as directed. In a separate pan, boil lentils with water, and salt. When rice is done, fluff with a fork and add salt, oil, and spices. Drain lentils and add to the rice. Fluff well.
Next, saute oil and onion sliced thin until caramelized. Serve the onions over rice and lentil mixture.
This dish may be served with plain yogurt on the side (I personally add a pad of butter instead).

I'd just like to emphasize how much I value my visitors' contributions. You're helping to build a really dynamic, chock-full recipe site. I appreciate that, because there's only so many recipes I can create and document myself. With all of us working together, we can do great things!
If you haven't already, I encourage you to explore all of the sections of our site. If you can't find what you're looking for quickly enough, then try out Recipe Index page.
Oh, and if you didn't come into the site through the home page, you may not be sure what the whole "thrown together" concept is all about. So have a look at my About the Concept page to learn more...
And in case you didn't notice the links in the right and left columns, there are lots of way to keep up with other readers' contributions (and my own new pages):
