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!
???? How long have you been on a vegan diet/plant-based? Let me know how it’s going in the comments below
▶️ 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)

Healthy Chickpea Recipe for a Vegetarian and Vegan Diet | Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry
Healthy Chickpea Recipe for a Vegetarian and Vegan Diet | Chickpea Vegetable Stir Fry
???? Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed this Vegan Chickpea recipe?
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS LIST: (3 servings approx.)
3 Tablespoon Cooking Oil (I have used Light Olive Oil)
130g / 1 Cup Onion - thinly sliced and cut in half
150g / 1 Cup Carrot - cut in 1/2 inch X 1/2 inch cubes
150g / 1 Cup Red Bell Pepper - cut in 1/2 inch X 1/2 inch pieces
250g / 2 Cups Zucchini - cut in 1 inch X 1 inch cubes
1+1/2 Tablespoon (or to taste) Garlic - finely chopped (3 to 4 garlic cloves)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml can) - Cooked Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
1/2 Tablespoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
Salt to taste (I have added total 3/4 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (OPTIONAL)
Lemon Juice to taste (I recommend 1 to 1+1/2 Tablespoon of lemon juice)
10g / 1/4 Cup Parsley - finely chopped
Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I have added 1/2 Tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
To a heated pan add olive oil, onion, carrot, red bell pepper, salt and fry on medium heat until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft. It will take about 5 to 6 minutes. Adding salt to the vegetables will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so please don’t skip it.
Once the vegetables are nicely fried, reduce the heat to low (to prevent the garlic from burning). Now add the finely chopped garlic and fry for about 30 seconds or so. Then add the zucchini, cooked chickpeas, dried oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Turn the heat to medium-high. Stir fry on medium-high to high heat (depending on the heat of your stove), until the chickpeas are fried and zucchini slightly cooked but still has a bite to it.
The intent here is to not over cook the zucchini but at the same time get the chickpeas nicely fried and that's the reason we are frying it on higher heat. It will take about 4 to 5 minutes.
✅ NOTE: Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, then reduce the heat.
Turn of heat. Add parsley, ground black pepper, generous amount of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well. Serve hot with steamed rice, in a wrap or just as a warm salad.
