About Majadra

Majadra, also known as Mujaddara, is a beloved Middle Eastern dish made with lentils, rice, or bulgur, and caramelized onions. Its origins trace back centuries, often celebrated as a staple in Levantine cuisine. This simple yet hearty combination provides a balanced source of plant-based protein from lentils and complex carbohydrates from rice or bulgur, making it a filling and nutritious option. Rich in fiber, it supports digestion and can help maintain stable blood sugar levels. The caramelized onions add a natural sweetness and depth of flavor, making it satisfying without the need for heavy seasonings. Traditionally, Majadra is cooked with olive oil, which adds healthy fats, though using excessive oil can increase its calorie content. Often served with a side of yogurt or fresh vegetables, it’s a wholesome vegetarian dish enjoyed for both its nutritional benefits and comforting taste.
