Mujaddara Safra
Mujaddara Safra, translating to 'yellow mujaddara,' is a comforting and simple Syrian dish made primarily from red split lentils and rice. Its vibrant yellow hue comes from the lentils themselves when cooked. Often served as a porridge-like consistency, it's a nutritious and hearty vegetarian meal, historically dating back to the 13th century.

Rinse the red split lentils and rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drain.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Soaking helps lentils and rice cook more evenly. - 2
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautรฉ until lightly golden, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: For a richer flavor, you can caramelize the onions further, or reserve some to top the finished dish. - 3
Add the drained lentils and rice to the pot with the sautรฉed onions. Stir to combine.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure the onions are evenly distributed. - 4
Pour in the 4 cups of water. Add salt, cumin, Lebanese 7 Spice, and turmeric (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during the initial boil. - 5
Simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring vigorously every 10-15 minutes to break down the lentils and create a creamy, porridge-like consistency. Add a little more water if the mixture becomes too thick.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: The final consistency should be soft and mushy, not fluffy. - 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, garnished with extra sautรฉed onions if desired. It is often served with a side salad or yogurt.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Mujaddara Safra can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
