Lentils and bulgur - Arabic mujadara. Vegetarian recipe, vegetable protein only.

Mujadara is not a side dish, but a main dish. Exactly so, without meat, but at the same time a full-fledged balanced one. Vegetable lentil protein, healthy bulgur, vegetable oil and onion. And of course spices. All this creates a tasty and healthy mujadara. Once food for the poor, now a hit with vegetarian cafes and restaurants. And it is still popular in the Levant countries - the Middle East and North Africa. And this despite the fact that the first recipe has been known since the 13th century, and possibly earlier. After all, earlier, in books, descriptions of recipes were not published. Recently, bulgur has been increasingly replaced with rice. But initially, a millennium ago, it was bulgur. Which, by the way, lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. Try this hit of the centuries, especially since it is easy to prepare and the ingredients are not complicated.
