This is one of my favorite recipes and I regulary do it. Being Lebanese and having grown up wit this food, we add some cumin to the lentils water just before we add the rice. It gives it a very nice taste and is no more bland. Try it. :)

I made this recipe tonight, adding the cumin and a sprinkling of cinnamon and added some beef bouillon. I also added some garlic. I think the recipe is basiclaly good, but the amount of water should be more specific and also the amount of salt and pepper. My husband liked it, so I will make it again but will add about 1 tsp of beef bouillon and about 1 tsp of salt. I could have done without the cinnamon, but the cumin was good.

The recipe didn't state how many cups of water you need to cook the rice and lentil together. For some who are not so used to cooking or eating with rice, the recipe should indicate it clearly. Yes, I agree with other viewers, you need to add cumin and cinnamon which in the original Egyptian mujadarrah dish calls for, the amount depending on your taste and liking, because some doesn't like the smell of the cumin. Adding these spices would make a big difference. And of course, yogurt and greek salad really goes well with this dish. My husband is an Arab and he always make this dish and it's a family favorite.

This is a family staple. Best thing about being Arabic is the food... my god! Juddrah is one of my childhood favs! One type, caramelize the onions as dark as you can without burning. The deeper you caramelize them the more delicious the end taste is. Sour cream is a no. Yoghurt is a yes. We eat everything with plain yoghurt and this is one of those dishes that is out of this world with yoghurt, salt, and a side of a cucumber salad. Keep in mind, your whole house will reek when you cook this, so make sure you have good ventilation!!!

Mujadarah is my favorit food. Try using Basmati rice which is also long grain but has that wonderfull taste. For the leftovers, you can store Mujadarah in the frig for a long time but it will get dry. So, add couple table spoons of water to the dry rice, toss well, microwave on 80% power until it is steaming again. Mujadarah also best eaten with big Greek Olives and a head of raw onions on the side. You breath will smell for a while but the taste is heaven.

Once I tripled the onion and added cumin and cinnamon as the other reviews suggested, we thought this was great.

Great dish!! Very simple to make and looks impressive :) I used red lentils because that's what I happened to have in the house. I also added cumin (a dash here and there) and 1/2 teaspoon of beef boullion. The dish ends up being very simple and may fit better as a side dish, but I'll definitely make it again because it was so tastey! One more suggestion: to spice up the yogurt a bit, I add lots of dill weed, salt, fresh garlic, and even chopped onion if you like it spicey. This gave a kick to an already great dish!

Thanks for the recipe! My dad makes this dish and now I know how too. I used chicken broth instead of water, next time I will use more onions.

I liked this, but will do as suggested and add more cumin (I used about 1/3 of what others did). The husband, on the other hand, didn't find it to be remarkable. Next time, I'll cook some chicken with the onions to add on top for him.

I've been an allrecipes.com member for years now and have never felt compelled to review a recipe before this one.....awesome and VERY easy way to cook lentils. I make this recipe all the time now. I take the advice of other reviewers and add a TBSP of cumin and have added my own 1/2 tsp of white pepper.

This was perfect! My mother used to make this and I never thought I would figure out what it was. I used brown rice and 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken stock. Cooked for 40 minutes together and added more stock half way through.

We did not realize how much this would make so I used it as a side dish and I have lots leftover. It was good but I think next time I will add onion powder to lentils and rice for more flavor.

The flavour is great! A dash of cinnamon in the onions makes a difference. I found cooking the rice and lentils separately ensures the texture of both are perfect.

I rated this a 4 as a compromise. I would have rated it a 5, but my husband said he would have given it a 3 (He isn't very familiar with lentils - not that there was a problem with the taste. Because it tasted great!). I made a few slight alterations: I made it with 3 onions instead of 1, and I sliced them into half-rings before getting them good and browned, and I added 1 TBS cumin and 1&1/2 tsp garam masala to the lentils. Everything else I left the same. The house smelled wonderful while cooking and the leftovers were great the next day - even my toddler enjoyed it. Don't skip the yogurt, since the yogurt's tang definitely pulls the flavors together. I'll definitely make this again.

SOOOO Good! The biggest change I made was TRIPLING IT! And I added cumin and bullion cubes. Delicious and I make it all the time. The yogurt is what really brings out the flavor, so don't be afraid to try it.

I had only eaten lentils once before and didn' like them. So, I tried this recipe to use up some lentils I had purchased for the other recipe that I ended up not liking and this was great! Even my picky 18 month old ate this dish. Another plus is that it is very simple to make.
