The ingredients for Mujedrah (rice and lentils) are:

1/2 tbsp olive oil (basically enough to just coat pan)
1 cup green or brown lentils
1 cup brown rice
1 tbsp. cumin (I generally double this)
3 cups chicken broth or water* (broth figured in calories)
1 cup peas (optional)

1 onion (sweat separately)

*you can do a mixture of broth and water too, basically whatever you have around- the broth definitely makes for a richer, more complex taste but it still works without and is probably the easiest, healthy dish I can think of when there is nothing in the house!

Here is how you make Mujedrah (rice and lentils):

Warm oil in skillet over medium heat.Add lentils and saut? briefly, then add brown rice and continue to saut? until coated and crackling a bit (two mins max).Stir in cumin, saut? another 30 seconds.Add chicken broth/water, stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling move heat to low, cover and let cook until tender and moisture has been absorbed - about 45 mins. Stir in frozen peas at end, if desired. :) Add ground pepper to taste.Add'l: you can also sweat some sliced onions on low-ish heat in a skillet simultaneously - slice thin and sprinkle with salt, stir occasionally. We usually do the onions but I love it w/o as well. (onions are figured into calorie count)Serving Size: 4Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MDMAEDER.
