I’ve always added the fried onions at the end of cooking the mujaddara. I will try it this way, In’shaa Allah. Thank you

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Let me know how it goes! 💕

This is my all time favorite comfort food. I can’t think of another dish with as few ingredients that has as much flavor. I grew up eating it with rice instead of burghul but started cooking it with burghul about 10 years ago and love it. You are so right that it is best cold. When I make it, which is very often, I will refrigerate it and not eat any until the next day. Sahtain!

I discovered this dish a year ago from Blanche Araj Shaheen. She uses rice in her recipe. I need to find the correct cracked wheat so I can try this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe, can't wait to try it! Also, your garden looks great!

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Thank you dear! Let me know how it goes!

Fantastic! This is the only version I know and you can never find anyone making it this way online. Thank you, I'm really looking forward to making it.

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Thank you and let me know how it goes!

[@irahandwerker8557]

i like your recipe i make it alot sometimes use rice instead of bulghur i also add cumin and fried onions on top

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Yes there are many unique ways to change mjadara. That sounds good!

[@shortymcfox2251]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It was absolutely delicious and hearty. I split half the recipe and left it original and the other half I did with the handheld mixer to cream it. To be honest, I didn’t have a favorite because my family devoured them both! I put aside a little for day two and you’re right, it is very good cold and the flavor of the onions was very present but not overpowering. I was wondering, instead of water, can I use a vegetable stock?

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Yes you can! Sometimes I use it because my daughters are vegetarians ! Please let me know how it goes!

[@SJ-dn5wk]

The Lebanese people in US taught me this recipe, but they put less lentils and more bulgur and then they fry again onions and serve it on top of the dish. Looks like this is more the original version.

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Yes we have that too, we call it mdardara. The mjadara is the original version, both are so good.

[@Fruituss]

I miss my sitti's mjadara so much, I had to learn to make it for myself!

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

Grandma’s recipes are always the most precious! Please let me know if you have any questions 💕

[@SophieBird07]

This looks so delicious. Did I miss how much lentils you used here? It looks like several pounds or cups. I don’t want to overpower the delicious onions, but I want to make plenty. Thanks!

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

This should be one pound.

[@randaridi1]

Yum! Shahaytina 3al mjadara 💕

Thank you!

[@Free-g8r]

What are the ratios of burgul to lentils to onions please?

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

1/3 cup of bulgar to 1 pound of lentils and 2 medium onions.

[@milosmallgoods5305]

I've never seen this version of mjadara.

[@mahaslebanesecuisine]

I hope you like it! Let me know how it goes if you tried it!
