Sorry! This recipe is flavorless, and otherwise doesn't resemble Mujaddarah. I think the rice-to-lentils proportions are wrong...plus other things. I'm going to make a different Mujaddarah this week, because I do love this dish. Mujaddarah has been loved for thousands of years, but I think not this variation!

I thought this was delicious! I did make a few changes - I used whole red lentils thinking they might hold up to the long cooking. I soaked them for less than an hour & they were already soft; I recommend skipping this step. They only cooked for about 30 minutes & they water was used up & the lentils were mushy. I used 1/2 cup rice cooked (about 2c cooked) instead of 1/2c cooked rice & the proportions were very good. The onions need a good deal of time to brown properly. Next time I will start them first. There is a LOT of flavor in the caramelized onions - they are like CANDY. And use plenty of salt & pepper! We completely enjoyed this dish! Made for Ramadan Tag.
