🇱🇧 Lebanon recipe
Mujaddara
One of the oldest and most beloved dishes in Lebanese home cooking, mujaddara is a humble pilaf of green or brown lentils and rice, crowned with a generous heap of deeply caramelized onions that are cooked so slowly they become sweet, dark, and almost jam-like. It is comfort food at its purest.
