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.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 ounces dry brown lentils
2 carrots, grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
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.
  • Heat olive oil in the same pot over medium heat; add onions and garlic. Cook and stir until onions wilt and become transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lentils and carrots and reduce heat to medium-low. Add enough water to the pot to keep the lentil mixture from drying out.
  • Sprinkle cumin, cayenne, curry powder, salt, and pepper over lentils; stir until heated through and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
