One Pot Lentil and Rice Recipe Inspired by Lebanese Mujadara 🇱🇧 Easy Plant-Based Recipes for Vegans

Welcome! This recipe is inspired by Lebanese Mujadara and a combination of few Mediterranean recipes. However, I have added Ginger by choice because of it's various health benefits essentially with digestion. Hope you enjoy the video! :)

I just love this type of video where nobody blabbers on , where everything is clear and concise , the photography beutifly filmed accompanied by calm music, well done.

Excellent video. I wish everyone followed your simple way of sharing a recipe. All of the ingredients are listed so there's no guess work, no endless minutes of watching someone chop vegetables, and no annoying talking. This dish looks delish and I'm adding it to my collection. Thank you for posting!

As someone on a fixed income this is wonderful. Plenty of protein, and flavor, and affordable

There is nothing more Mediterranean than finishing cooking with a squeeze of fresh lemon and 2-3 spoonfuls of olive oil. Love it!

The video was incredibly made. I love how you showed all the small details, like what low heat looks like which is usually an “unknown” for novice cooks. Great work!

This is beautifully filmed. It's more like a relaxation video than a cooking one!!

In my hometown in Mount Lebanon, we don't start with onions,but fry them in their chopped long shape and add it on top of the plate. Also, we use ground Cumin only. Served along Greek yogurt fresh from our village is a delight. But I like this recipe too, gonna try it. Thanks for sharing.

Somebody didn't let their film degree go to waste.

Tip for everyone, put lentils first, cook till tender, then add the rice. I cooked this dish following everything to the letter and there's no way the lentils are going to cook in the same time as the rice.

can't say which is more relaxing; watching the preparation without talking and all ingredients listed, or the wonderfully soothing music. This is true cooking meditation, thank you for this blissful video as well as very much appreciated yummy recipe I'll try right away ❤

This is such a popular and easy dish in India as well. It's called as Khichdi. There are numerous variants of it with the kind of spices you can use in it, with or without onions, Kind of lentils used, etc. It's usually given when you're sick as well and it's amazingly comforting!

I'm mesmerised at how clean and tidy everything was. There wasn't a splatter or a grain of rice out of place!

I make Mujadara using bulgur instead of rice, specially for Easter.
Thank you, beautiful recipe.

This is a new staple for me. I've made it three times and it is absolutely delicious! I add the parsley fresh, per serving. It freezes and reheats well.

I just recently within the last 2 months gave up meat and had been having a hard time coming up with dishes to eat that I enjoy until I found your channel. Everything I have had so far have been amazing and I am enjoying this life choice a lot more. I honestly probably would have given up if I had not found this channel.

While visiting Jaffa a couple years ago, I remember buying a bag of mixed rice, lentils, spices and - I think - dried onions at Suk HaCarmel. After cooking, it turned out to be a really nice and hearty meal, but I could not for the life of me remember what was it called. Now, thanks to this video, I believe this might well have been this very dish :)

PLEASE NOTE: Soaking time of lentil depends on it's quality. Some brown lentils are more dry than the others and will therefore need more soaking time. How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your finger nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak it for longer. It's really important that the lentils are soaked well and tender for this recipe.

I could sit down and eat the entire pot. Yummy! My family is from Syria and Lebanon this really speaks to me.

I have tried your recipe and found it so delicious and easy to prepare and cook. Lots of flavour through each bite. Didn’t have brown lentils in the shops or my nearest supermarket however, I used orange lentils which is just a best! I soaked it over night. I used only half a spoon of salt and coriander; due to sodium and having Dyalisis 3 times a week. Again very tasty and quick. I also lightly fried chunks of quorum to compliment the lentil and rice dish for the grandchildren. I suggest if anyone is going to try this recipe do all the preparation before you start cooking.
