Ingredients
1 cup Bulgur wheat
1 bay leaf
1 cup green or brown lentils
2 cups water or stock
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
3 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil or more
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
lemon wedges for serving
Garnish: finely chopped parsley
Instructions
Sort the lentils. Rinse and drain.
Bring 5-6 cups of water to a boil. Add the bay leaf and a teaspoon of salt along with the lentils. Cook for 15 minutes and then drain the water.
In the meantime add the onions to a shallow skillet. Season with a heavy pinch of salt and add the olive oil. Cook the onions over medium-heat until golden. About 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Add the bulgur, cooked lentils, salt, pepper, cumin, and 2 cups of water or stock to a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Fluff and transfer to a serving platter.
Top with the caramelized onions and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
The mujadarah pairs well with Greek yogurt and a cucumber salad.
Kali Orexi!

This is just amazing! Thank you Dimitra! We in Syria do not discard the lentil water (broth) we use it to cook it with the bulgur which gives richer taste. We also add a generous sprinkle of flour and a bit of starch to the onion before we cook which will make it much more crispy! Thank you so much!

This is going to be my lunch today. 😊thank you.
This looks so delicious Dimitra, I’m going to definitely have to try it. I’m thinking I might use farro instead of bulger cause love farro and never tried bulger. Perfect meatless meal which I’m always up for. Thanks for sharing yet another yummy recipe. 🤗
Wow cooking this this week, although it contains gluten. Thank you. Please post more gluten free healthy recipes. How do you eat it for breakfast? Do you cook it fresh or out of the fridge?
Bravosou pathemoo.
Thank you

Hi Dimitra…I enjoy your recipes very much. For the lentil and bulgur recipe , can I use canned lentils?

Yes, you can use them :) Thanks so much for being here!
Thank you Dimitra as always for great recipe. I am not very much fond of cooked onion, what can I replace instead? Also, I very much like Gooey Butter cake is there any recipe??
Hi Dimitra Will be preparing this recipe tomorrow to accompany your slow-cooker lamb shanks. I plan to use rice instead of the bulgar (local grocer is out) and wondering if the 2 cups of stock will be enough liquid to cook the rice - I’m assuming some of the liquid will be absorbed by the lentils even though they’re cooked. Suggestions? Thx in advance, John
We have wheat allergies so would have to use rice.Thank you for sharing this recipe😋

Thank you, Mary!! Enjoy it. I love it with rice too :)
Actually Burgul is the traditional recipe, later rice was introduced as a substitute for burgul Also the Cucumber Salad Recipe is Cucumber (grated or small cutlets) +minced Garlic+Yoghurt+pepper+Salt Stir well then sprinkle Sumac and chopped mint leaves or dried mint powder on top with a light stir then keep in fridge for 1-2 hours then serve.
Do you have more lentil recipes that are not soupy? Is soupy a word?
EXHALENT two times over 😂🎉😢😮😅
I like your recipe but you talk very fast keep up the good work 👍👏🙏
It's much healthier with bulgur. Bulgur counts as a whole grain.
don't knowwhere are you from that food is Syrian food specific and Lebanese mix with Rice instead of bulgur not a middle east food
Dimitra, I have a request....... uh.... marry me
