Mujadara: Rice & Lentil Comfort Food

[@irismargot92]

Hey! My mom is Lebanese and this was a staple growing up. She always made a big pot and brought it to picnics lol. I thought it was so boring then but I absolutely love it now. Her recipe is different than yours but nonetheless I’m sure it’s delicious. Thanks for sharing!!! 💕

[@nilorecipes]

Oh thank you Iris for your feedback! What a lovely idea for a picnic, never thought about that ❤️

[@Seajunkie]

My client is Lebanese and made me this for lunch!! Love how nearly every culture has a rendition of legumes and rice ( vegetarian)

[@geneweinberger5645]

I’m not a vegetarian, but I surely will try that dish. Thank you for sharing

[@sunset6010]

Looks INCREDIBLE! 😊

[@nilorecipes]

Yay, thanks ☀️

[@libbylandscape3560]

Oooo I LOVE lentils and rice….well just about any beans and rice, food of the gods. ❤ Thanks for the great recipe!

[@nilorecipes]

You are very welcome, so happy you like the recipe ☀️☀️

Great Lebanese dish.! I discovered Mujadara in Lebanon about 9 yrs ago during my Erasmus year in that gorgeous country that is being presently bombed and destroyed by the Israelis. I just love Lebanese food and we’re so lucky that we have fantastic Lebanese restaurants in Oslo.

[@nilorecipes]

Sounds fantastic, what an experience that must have been. We have family in Oslo ❤️❤️❤️ Brunost-love!

I cooked this tonight for my meal prep, very good, I am Trying to stick to Mediterranean diet so this was perfect thanks for sharing all your videos

[@soniarose1387]

We used to eat this when I grew up. The traditional way is adding the rice to the lentils when they are almost done, but this might be easier. And still delicious. If I remember well, the onions we put on top were crispy. I loved it and still do. Easy, delicious and healthy ❤

[@christanice]

Thanks! I just made chicken biryani for a potluck, and after enjoying the leftovers for days, I wanted to find something healthier to keep that feeling going... I think this is perfect for that!!!

[@kaybrown4010]

Im just loving all these neat recipes. Unfortunately I cant tolerate onions. But would still make it without. I love your "easy right" at the end. 😊

The lentil cooked water has the protein. Don’t throw it. South of India they make lentil and rice with different spices in one pot. It is called Pongal. They also make version with vegetables called Kichidi. Also in one pot

[@AlfredY-uf2ue]

Every Passover my parents, Jews of Spain and France, would eat rice and lentils, they are a choen and Levi and the Hasmonean kingdom that was in Jerusalem

[@adrianapurcell3704]

delishhhh!!! yummmm🤗

[@tg-ik5pf]

Delicious 😋😋😋😋

[@sid-d4w]

I much prefer your longer form videos like this 👍

[@nilorecipes]

Thanks for the feedback! They are certainly more effort the long form ones, so your opinion matters 🙏

[@zebinakassa4959]

I am going to cook this dish, i have dried onions from the store to use but i don't know how to use first time. Do i have to use ir as a garnish at the end. Thanks😊

[@yulyakaiser9665]

❤

[@jamiebryant8788]

Looks delicious, I tried your vege chili, was very good , are you completely vegan?

[@santiagoguglielmo2410]

😍😍😍

[@EvanIsmail4115]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@zebinakassa4959]

Amazing.❤❤❤ could you tell us the measurement for the lentill and rice. Thanks😋

[@nilorecipes]

In the description ☀️

[@EatWithMe-Refiloe]

I love food and enjoy watching food content 😊 small KZbinrs like me let’s connect here

I am from the Middle East, we just add salt, no spices. Try kefir with chopped cucumber, salt and dried mint with it.

[@nilorecipes]

Yes this is certainly an “aromatic” interpretation, thanks so much for your comment and serving suggestion 🙏❤️

[@williamfowles2940]

Love that you're using metric measurements in your recipes for most of the ingredients. This cups nonsense confuses me. When you say 3 cups of water, that's ,750 ml, right (for the 100g of rice)?

[@kitt7477]

Soak the brown lentils for 8 hrs then strain the water & add it to your raw rice with a very small peeled & finely chopped eggplant, measured water, add your caramelized, & spiced onions & salt & cook all together.

[@chelseabug11]

Add salt to lentils only after they have soften, otherwise the lentils will take longer to soften.

[@CookingbyAfiaKamal-l7t]

Subscribe done ❤ sir

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

The rice need steam cooking at list 10 minutes after boiling it 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@georgebaddour]

Great but Mujadarah is not made in all the countries in the Middle East. It is very popular dish in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Please note that Basmati rice is not suitable for this dish. Besides, The right way to pronounce Humus is "Hummos", an Arabic word that means Garbanzo Beans.

Patrick Mahomes has ruined a generation of men’s hair. But the dish looks legit.
