lebanese mujadara recipe

Instant Pot Mujadara - a comforting, healthy vegetarian meal of lentils and rice, with fragrant Moroccan spices, served with caramelized shallots, fresh veggies, pine nuts and optional yogurt. Gluten-free and Vegan adaptable. To make this on the stove top...see recipe notes.

Instant Pot Mujadara

brown lentils (do not split lentils) see notes

tablespoons olive oil

shallots,

garlic, rough chopped

cumin

coriander

allspice

cinnamon

turmeric, optional

ginger

kosher salt

mint

lemon lemon

water (updated

rice

Place lentils in a bowl and cover with hot tap water (or boiling water), letting them soak until time to add to the instant pot.

Set Instant Pot to Saute function. Saute shallots in the oil, 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly,  until tender and fragrant and slightly caramelized. Remove half, saving for the topping. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add all the spices, salt, lemon zest and water. Stir. Drain the lentils and add them along with the rinsed rice to the instant pot.  Give a good stir.

Cover the instant pot and set to Normal Pressure, High for 11 minutes. Let naturally release for at least 10 minutes.

In the meantime, prep any garnishes you like.

To serve, gently fluff the Mujadara with a fork (do not over mix, or it will get mushy ).  Divide among bowls, drizzle with olive oil, add tomatoes, avocado, caramelized shallots, sprouts, a spoonful of yogurt or zhoug yogurt, or tahini sauce &#8211; and fresh parsley or mint.

Feel free to serve with other seasonal veggies ( roasted root veggies, shredded cabbage or carrots, etc).

Oh man! First time making this and wow! Coming from someone who doesn’t like lentils or brown rice by themselves... The flavors were amazing! I almost ate the whole pot! My new favorite dish to pair with chicken breasts for my post workout meal. Thank you so much

Excellent option as an intro to vegan meals for my kids and it was a hit all around! Thank you for sharing ☺️

This was so delicious and easy.  While it was cooking I just sauteed some portobello caps on the stove top and put on top of it.  Yum yum yum.

This was seriously incredible. Made exactly as described. We loved it so much we're making again in 3 more days for company.

Amazing at first bite! I combined it with some leftover dish that gave it an umami taste. This is going to be my new kitchen staple. :)

It's the 3rd recipe that I do in 2 days, and this one too is just delicious!
I love how easy and clear are your instructions .

Thank you for sharing such a tasty recipe! We tried this recipe this past winter and it's now regular rotation for dinners. Leftovers reheat well. I'm pretty sure we make this at least twice a month. I like how versatile and quick the recipe is as well - we prepare with roasted veggies until the weather warms up and then switch to garden cherry tomatoes and sauteed kale, purple cabbage, and carrots. Thanks!!

Delicious! The blend of spices worked perfectly, and your suggestions for garnishes made it a real meal in one. Thanks. I will recommend this!

My whole family, even the picky eater, loved this! We are a family of  6 and I did 1 1/2 times on the recipe which fit in my instant pot and fed us with no leftovers

Our whole family enjoyed this (including my pickiest, youngest children). Very easy and delicious!

This was sooooo delicious!!! I’ll be making it again for sure!!!

I really loved the flavours in this dish.  Delicious!  Just a bit confused re: amount of lentils to use.  I usually soak brown lentils overnight before using.  So is the amount to add to recipe for dried or soaked lentils?

½ teaspoons kosher salt

Cover the instant pot and set to High pressure for 11 minutes. Let naturally release for at least 10 minutes.

This is a household staple. We make it without oil by sautéing onions with water!

Yum! I just made this and am enjoying right now with your tahini sauce. I used a red onion instead of shallots and increased the lentils by 1/2 c (and water too) to finish up my bag. I'll definitely be coming back to this recipe again!

so good! garnished with rainbow carrots i roasted the day before, and greek yogurt with a squirt of lemon. can't wait to try different combos.

Wow!!! This is delicious, such rich, warm flavors! I already know I'll be making this again and again!

Delicious!! Even my kids liked it, though they asked for a little less pungent/bitter. Should I leave out the turmeric or cut down on the allspice next time?

This was delicious! It's definitely going on regulation rotation. Thank you!

Forgot the rating but would 10 stars if I could!
