I just came across your comment and it made me smile. I too relied on mjadara last year during the pandemic. Out of boredom and practicality. I ate tons of lentils and cabbage . Mainly mjadara and sauerkraut. It was only this week that I was courageous enough to cook some more lentils and gosh I don’t regret it

Perfect pantry staple for these stay-at-home times. Thanks for sharing this – it’s kept me and mine happy & fed for the better part of a decade.

For mujadara, I've had a recipe from my best friend's husband's mother, who was Lebanese and a wonderful cook. It calls for a pinch of cloves stirred in with the onions after the lentils and rice are cooked. Some of the caramelized onions are reserved to top off each serving. It's delicious! And one of my winter staples.

The two of you combined have me drooling.

So hello!

Funny, the recipe that inspired me to make mujadara tonight had the strangest ingredient: buttermilk. I omitted it because the idea of mujadara with a cheesy aftertaste just didn't sound appetizing, and I'd never seen a mujadara recipe calling for it. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Wow! So glad I did! Amazing! Thank you so much for this recipe 🙂

As you suggested I patiently caramelized the onions, stirring them lovingly for about 35 minutes. Can't wait to have some for lunch tomorrow as well, to see how the flavors develop. Thanks again.

I love your style of writing. Couldn't wait to read the actual recipe. I'm so glad I stumbled upon it and I can't wait to try your recipe for Mujadara. It will have to wait until the weekend though, when I can give enough attention to caramelizing those onions! Ohh….I'm excited!! Thank you for sharing.

I come very late to the Mujadara party, but I needed to tell you how much I enjoyed this. I made a few mods following some of the comments:

– made twice as many onions, and serve half of them as a garnish on top. (I'm a bit obsessed with caramelized onions.)
– added half a stick of cinnamon and 1 tsp. of cumin at the “rice” stage.
– added lemon and a bit of fleur de sel at the end
– served with wedges of za'atar-sprinkled toasted pitas, and a cucumber/mint salad.

SO SO SO GOOD!!!! Perfect autumn dish.
