Mujadara Recipes

This recipe is adapted from At the Immigrant's Table http://immigrantstable.com/

Middle Easter dish also known as mejadra or mudardara, consists of cooked lentils together with rice, garnished with onions that have been sauteed in olive oil

Low in fat and high in protein and fiber, this spin on classic mujadara is a great side dish. Throw it in a tupperware cold and it makes an equally delish (and filling) brown bag lunch! I love mujadara (a Middle Eastern dish of lentils, rice and carmelized onions), but I often overcook my rice leaving the dish a mushy mess. So I substituted one of my favorites - nutty, chewy barley - and discovered that I (and my picky toddler) prefer the newfound texture over that of the gritty/mushy aforementioned dish. This has become one of my staple vegetarian go-to meals and you'll always find a tupperware full of it in my fridge =)
