INSTRUCTIONS
Here is a well flavored and filling dish for lunches. An excellent
substitute for baked beans. Eat it with raw relishes or a crisp
cabbage salad, lettuce salad, cucumber and tomato salad. Pick over and
wash lentils well. Soak overnight. Put in pressure cooker with enough
fresh water to cover. Cook under pressure for seven minutes. Add rice
and cook under pressure another seven minutes. Fry onions in olive oil
until brown. Mix lentils and rice with onion and simmer uncovered for
10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Pour onto large
serving platter. Serve hot, lukewarm or cold. May be garnished with
onions which have been sliced and fried dark in olive oil. This
quantity makes about 10 portions. It is very good with pickled turnips
and laban(plain yoghurt) see below. To prepare mujaddarah in an open
kettle, boil lentils in water to cover until tender. Add rice and cook
until it is soft. Combine with fried onions and stew gently for about
10 minutes, stirring often. (From Food from the Arab World Marie Karam
