One Pot Lentil and Rice Recipe Inspired by Lebanese Mujadara ???????? Easy Plant-Based Recipes for Vegans
This recipe is inspired by Lebanese Mujadara and a combination of a few Mediterranean recipes (however, I have added Ginger because of its various health benefits, especially with digestion).
➡️ When you come back, you’ll have one of the crucial ingredients for a vegan rice recipe that is rich in flavor owing to the inspiration of an old-world favorite dish from the Middle East. Next, you can prepare the sweet and fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and spices!
I hope you enjoy this modern instance of a centuries-old dish!

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 to 5 servings)
1 Cup / 200g BROWN LENTILS ONLY (washed and soaked in water for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender)
1 Cup /200g BASMATI Rice (thoroughly washed/soaked in water for 20 minutes)
3 Cup / 400g Chopped Onions - 2 medium size onions (430g with skin on)
1 Tablespoon ginger (very finely chopped)
1 Tablespoon garlic (very finely chopped)
3/4 Cup Strained Tomatoes / Passata / Tomato Puree
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper OR to taste (Optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
Garnish:
3/4 cup / 70g Parsley (finely chopped)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste (I added 1/2 teaspoon)
Lemon or Lime juice to taste (I added 1+1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, I like it a bit sour)
Extra Virgin Olive oil (I added 2 tablespoons of organic cold-pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
✅???? USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH (this will cook the rice more evenly and prevent it from getting mushy).
Wash and soak the brown lentils for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender. Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it's an important step so do not skip it). Soak for 20 minutes.
Heat a pan, add cooking oil, onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Adding salt to the onions will help release water and help it cook faster. Fry the onion on medium-high heat until it starts to caramelize. Once caramelized, reduce the heat to medium to medium-low heat (depending on the heat of your stove) and add finely chopped ginger and garlic. Fry until onions are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the onion).
Once the onion is caramelized, add the strained tomatoes/passata and spices. Give it a good mix. Add the soaked lentil and rice, along with salt and water. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Uncover and check to see if the rice and lentils are cooked (it should be cooked by now, if its not, cover and cook it for a bit longer). Now continue to cook UNCOVER for another 1 to 2 minutes on low heat to get rid of any excess moisture. Turn off the heat.
Add parsley, lemon juice, black pepper and drizzle of olive oil. Mix very gently, the rice is delicate at this point and we don't want to break it. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving (for flavors to blend).
Stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. It's perfect for meal planning.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Soak lentils until they are very tender. The soaking time depends on the quality of the lentils. Some brown lentils are drier than the others and 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 nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak longer
???? It's really important that the lentils soak well. The reason is to match the cooking time of lentils with the rice
???? USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH (this will cook the rice more evenly and prevent it from getting mushy)

LENTIL BALL / LENTIL KÖFTE
Servings: 8-10
Difficulty: Medium
Cooking time: 30 dk
Prep time: 10 dk
2 cups red lentils
4 cups of water, 1 L
1 cup fine bulghur
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons red pepper paste
1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped
1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
¾ cup olive oil, 2,82 oz or 80 g
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon salt, according to saltness of the pastes
Serving;
Lettuce leaves
Lemon slices
• Rinse the lentils, transfer them in a pot. Add the water and 1 pinch of salt, let them boil for 20-25 minutes on medium heat. Don’t forget to close the lid and mix time to time.
• When the lentils are all cooked and look like a thick soup, turn the heat off. Open the lid and wait for 5 minutes for the first heat to come out.
• Add the bulghur into the cooked lentils and mix, close the lid again wait for 10-15 minutes.
• While the bulghur absorbing water, pour 3 tablespoon of olive oil, onions and a pinch of salt in a pan on high heat. Sautee them until the onions get softer and a little caramelized. Add the tomato and pepper paste, cook them like 3-4 minutes and turn the heat off.
• When bulghur-lentil mixture and onion-pastes mixture get cooler, mix them in a tray. Add cumin, black pepper and salt and knead them until they all mix well. Add rest of the olive oil and knead again.
• Add spring onions and knead until their edgy taste gets lighter. Then add the parsley. Knead a bit more to all ingredients mixed well.
• For the traditional serving style grab lime size pieces, place inside your palm and squeeze gently to give the hand shape. To shape easier wet your hands time to time.
• You can also serve lentil köfte as a big ball, and let your guests take their own squeezes. Or you can make small balls and cover them with some sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, poppy seeds or parsley. In another option you can shallow fry your lentil köftes.
• Serve your lentil köfte which is the best vegan treat with lemon slices and some lettuce leaves.
