A classic Middle Eastern dish, this mujadara recipe is extremely easy to make. Mujadara is an Arabic word that means “pockmarked” as the rice looks pockmarked by the lentils. It’s a simple but delicious dish that is flavorful, rich, and comforting despite being made with budget-friendly pantry staples.

In Palestine usually the caramelized onions are split into two portions One portion goes in while lentils and rice/bulgur are boiling, the second portion at the end on top. It comes out more flavorful

One of my favorite recipes. I discovered it in Lebanon nine years ago, a country known for its amazing gastronomy not only in the Middle East but also in our country and Europe, particularly in France and the UK. The thing with Lebanese food is time! It’s quite complex and time-consuming, but it’s worth it.

It looks nice but it's different from the mujadara of Syria. In Syria the only thing we add to the lentils and rice is salt, the simplicity is the beauty of this recipe. Then for caramelizing we add more olive oil, we leave the onion till it becomes a little bit crunchy. And the finishing touch is dripping the oil over the cocked rice and lentils, this way they are not dry. You should really try it with only salt, you'd be surprised.

I grew up on this stuff (I'm 72) when my great auntie fixed it for many Sunday dinners. The only difference was back then she didn't even know what cumin was so we've only used salt, pepper, garlic, and cinnamon (in tons of Lebanese dishes). I was ready to make some and put lentils on my grocery list but then remembered that I still have a bag of black lentils so may use those. Thanks for the video!

Yes love this dish -ate this in West Bank. Pronounced: Moo-je-de-ra

Yessssss, yesterday Lebanese chicken , today mujadara, this is a strong chemistry between Coit and Lebanese recipe, Coit has a goooood taste😉, we eat it with Fattush salad, thank you

[@browniekeith1194]

It’s a popular dish in the levant region. You did a great job. I cook it all the time a guy who came from there. I have been replacing the rice with riced cauliflower to reduce the calories.

This dish is very popular in the Middle East, but we fry the onions until they become crunchy..but it looks very sweet

[@WaleedBarkasiyeh]

A favourite recipe that i make all the time .. it's great with tzatziki as a side dish .. you could replace the rice with bulgur too 😋

[@cookingwithcoit]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@DCupcake58]

I’ve wanted to learn how to make this dish. Thanks! Lentils intimidate me. I usually overcook them. But most recently homemade bread is something I was afraid to make. I’ve gotten over that hurdle so now I’ll try lentils. Also I caramelize onions in bulk, let them cool, and spread them out on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, I break them up and bag them up so I always have some ready to go.

[@cookingwithcoit]

Such a great tip about the onions! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏻

[@Sbannmarie]

Yes love this dish -ate this in West Bank.

[@mojoyce8491]

Grew up eating this. Since I didn't like yogurt as a child I topped mine with a fatoush salad!

[@somayaalhamdn7624]

Nice vegetarian dish. I always use lentils with some vegetables in soup or stew, not mixing with rice. But it is interesting to try someting new.

[@cookingwithcoit]

Thank you

[@pamelaharriman8338]

Hey Coit: I'm making this today and I'm a bit anxious. Each recipe I looked at was so different so I stuck with your recipe because you explained the recipe so much easier. I'll let you know. Intimidating!

[@toadsage]

How'd it go???

[@emeraldkimble7602]

I cook it all in rice cooker

[@bridgettegallagher2264]

I have all the ingredients to make this I'm going to make it tonight, I'm intimidated when I have to make macaroons I can't do it I tried I tried I tried but now after listening to what you said I'm going to try again

[@cookingwithcoit]

Great to hear!

[@nin5739]

The way you say mjadra is so cute 🤣❤️

[@roblynch7234]

Just a quick question. Going to try this one, but was thinking about adding sliced creminis to the flavor profile. Any thoughts on that?

[@cookingwithcoit]

I like that idea!

[@bevonviechweg7891]

I am cooking as you speak

[@rikkimontero]

I wonder what sautéing a small amount of the onions with the spices, salt and garlic before you add the water,lentils and rice would do to the taste of the dish. Blooming the spices are helpful for creating a complex flavor profile

[@cookingwithcoit]

This is an interesting idea Rikki. If you give it a try will you let me know the results? Thank you!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Lovely 👌🏻

[@kathyeichholz1516]

Could use long grain rice I don’t have any basamati rice

[@Celebrity_Here]

Amazing 😍😋

Thank you 😋

[@katrinohanian9105]

[@tarriehofman3431]

Can you use a jasmine brown rice?

[@cookingwithcoit]

Yes I believe you could, just make sure you alter the cooking time accordingly.

[@noras.9774]

Depends what type of “ fire” you have to cook. I cook with gaz and the onion is caramelized very quick!

[@bevonviechweg7891]

Half hour got you ha

[@hanaassad8689]

That's not how we cook Mujadra, there is no green onions, no garlic, not basmati rice & bay leaf in mujadra. Where did you get the recipe from?

[@bevonviechweg7891]

You makeme lol

[@pamelaharriman8338]

I thought this would have more flavor because everyone who made it thought it was great; but for me it was really bland. I followed the recipe but it just wasn't what I thought it would be.
