Moujadara Hamra
Lentils and cracked wheat with deeply caramelised onions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Brown lentils
- 1 cup Coarse bulgur
- 6 Onions
- ¾ cup Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tsp Salt
- 6 cups Water
Method
- Cook the lentils — Simmer until tender but not collapsing.
- Caramelise the onions — Cook sliced onions in olive oil over medium heat for 40 minutes until genuinely dark brown, almost black at the edges.
- Reserve some — Set a third aside for the top.
- Combine — Add the rest of the onions with their oil to the lentils, then stir in the bulgur.
- Steam — Cover and cook 20 minutes until the bulgur swells and absorbs everything.
- Moujadara is ready — Top with the reserved onions and serve warm or at room temperature with yogurt.
