Delicious Mujaddara

Travel to the middle east without ever leaving your home with this hearty and flavorful Mujaddara. It’s super easy to put together and requires few ingredients.

The more you cook, the more you realize that the best dishes are definitely the simple ones. Clean flavors with a nice balance of textures.

This tasty Mujaddara is easy enough to serve for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough for entertaining. And it makes the best leftovers. My husband loves eating it cold straight from the fridge.

What I love the most about it, is that it’s super customizable. You can add some veggies, nuts, dry apricots, or even change the rice for quinoa, brown rice or even steamed cauliflower for a low-carb option.

Usually, I make a huge batch of Mujaddara on a Sunday and leave it in the fridge for the rest of the week. It’s great to take to work because it reheats easily.

You can either enjoy it as an entree or as a side dish. Since the lentils are hearty enough for me I eat it as an entree with a big leafy salad on the side.

To make this Mujaddara, I used Knorr Bouillion Cubes in beef flavor. They’re available in beef, vegetable, and chicken. If you’re a vegetarian or simply don’t eat meat on occasions, use the vegetable bouillion in your recipe.

Last week I showed you a few recipes that I’ve made with Knorr and today I bring you a Middle Eastern dish just to show you how versatile Knorr is. You can add it to soups, stews, sauces, rice dishes, meat dishes, chicken dishes, etc. Knorr is definitely has been staple in my pantry every since I was little.

I hope you can try this delicious Mujaddara at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
