MUJADDARA ARABIC LENTIL RICE



Mujaddara Arabic Lentil Rice image

Enjoy a great tasting dish to share with family and friends. Special dish for vegetarians, and one of our favorite meals. Instead of placing the onion on top you can mix it along with the lentils and rice before serving. It makes a perfect meal with a fresh green salad. Also you can use 2 cups of vegetable broth instead of 2 cups of water to cook the lentils.

MUJADARRA (LENTILS WITH RICE)



Mujadarra (Lentils with Rice) image

I was introduced to this Middle Eastern dish by one of my best friends, who is Palestinian. His mother made this once a week at her deli and after trying it once I had a standing order to save me a plate every week. This is so healthy and delicious, and it's so simple to make. After she retired and closed her deli I had to search through several recipes and make my adjustments to get it to my liking. It has become a staple in my home.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces dry brown lentils
2 carrots, grated

3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
2 tablespoons water, or more as needed
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon yellow curry powder
4 cups cooked brown rice, or as needed

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water; add lentils and bring to a rolling boil. Cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add grated carrots; cook until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Drain lentils and carrots.
