LEBANESE LENTILS (MUJADARA)



Lebanese Lentils (Mujadara) image

I grew up eating this- usually every Friday, because my family doesn't eat meat on Fridays. Its so good, I personally consider it comfort food. Its healthy, simple, and full of fiber! I often eat leftovers in a sandwich with veggies. Goes well with olives, pita bread, raw onion, celery, carrots, lettuce.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium onion, diced (you can use more if you like, I do)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup brown rice (I use Uncle Ben's)
1 cup brown lentils
4 cups water (approximately)
1/2 teaspoon salt (you can use more or less)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pan.
  • add onions, and cook on medium high heat until they are brown- stir occasionally.
  • stir in rice and lentils, mix in with onions.
  • add water.
  • add salt, mix contents.
  • cover and simmer.
  • This will take over an hour. The water will be absorbed into rice and lentils. Make sure they are soft. Sometimes you may need to add a little more water. Stir occasionally.
  • Best if served in a shallow bowl, and let sit for 10 minutes or so. Enjoy warm or cold.

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery with leaves, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
6 cups water
2 cups French green lentils
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add water, lentils, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, salt, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir to incorporate. Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.

  • Measure out your lentils, place them in a fine mesh strainer or colander, and rinse with cold water. Sort through the lentils to pick out any stones or debris which may be left behind.
  • Place the rinsed lentils in a medium sauce pan and add 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. The water should be moving, but it shouldn’t be a full-on rolling boil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for between 20 and 30 minutes. You want the water to maintain a soft simmer.
  • Meanwhile, finely mince 8 cloves of garlic in a food processor (or use a sharp knife). Heat the grape seed oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until a small piece of garlic sizzles at once when tossed into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add all of the minced garlic. Saute until the garlic is golden brown and crispy (about 6 to 8 minutes). Set aside.

  • While the lentils are cooking, dice the first onion and sauté in a small pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until translucent. Add the cumin and sauté for 1 more minute, set aside. Slice the remaining onion into thin slices and sauté in the same pan with a tablespoon of oil on medium-low heat until deep golden brown and caramelized. Stir often to prevent the onions from burning.
  • Wash the rice thoroughly and add to the lentils along with the sautéed onion. Season with salt and pepper and lower the heat all the way down to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes covered until all the water has been absorbed.
  • Garnish the Mujadara with the caramelized onions and serve at room temperature with pita bread and a side salad.
