Mujadara Hamra
Lebanese Mujadara Hamra – a nutritious and comforting Middle Eastern dish featuring lentils, bulgur wheat, caramelized onions, and cumin.
Ingredients
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 2 large yellow onions finely chopped
- 1½ cups brown lentils rinsed and drained
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup coarse bulgur #3 rinsed and drained
- 5 cups water
- 2 teaspoons cumin
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are deeply browned, 25-30 minutes.
- Add the lentils on top of the onions, season with salt, and stir to combine everything together, about 1 minute.
- Add the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid, stir in the bulgur and then cover again with the lid and cook for another 25 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Rest, covered, for 5 minutes longer. Fluff the mixture with a fork and stir in the cumin. Serve warm.
