My-jadurrah

She Said:

Years ago, I got a recipe from Cassie-B for some grey food. I was not afraid. I can handle grey food!

And I was right.

The recipe I got was for some simple muhjadurrah. And I made it many times over the years. It's wonderful! But I started to wonder if I couldn't push it to the next level. Tonight, I did. Here's my recipe.

My-jadurrah

2 onions, diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup green lentils
1 cup white rice
1 quart water
1 tsp. sea salt
4 pocket pitas

In a medium skillet, cook the onions, pepper and garlic over medium high heat in the olive oil until the vegetables are tender. Transfer the vegetables to a 2-quart saucepan. Add the lentils, water and salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the rice and more water, as necessary. Cover and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the rice and lentils are soft. The mixture should be thick. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve with or in the pita pockets.

That's it. A delicious and nutritious vegetarian meal.

Now, to take it out of the realm of vegetarianism, next time, I'm going to saute up some bulk sausage or grill some chicken and throw that into the mixture. It should be spectacular!
