1000 Year Old Middle Eastern Comfort Food - Mujaddara

Mujaddara (also known as Muceddere in Turkey) is one of the most widespread and popular legume and rice / bulgur dish in the Middle East, Iran and Turkey. The dish was first mentioned in the ancient cookbook Kitab al-Tabikh (Book of Dishes) by Hasan Al-Baghdadi, in 1226 inspired by the Persian recipes. The original version was made with rice, lentils and usually meat for festive celebrations. Without the meat and substituting the rice with bulgur, it was an inexpensive and delicious dish for the poor people. It’s still very popular in the Middle East, Iran and southern parts of Turkey and is usually served with caramelized onions, sizzling spicy oil, sometimes topped with yogurt and in some parts with fried eggs.
