You want to save at least half an hour when caramelizing your onions? Add a really tiny bit of baking soda to them and in just a few minutes your onions will caramelize like magic.
Wow. This is an amazing tip!!! Thank you
Fantastic 👍🏾
I tried your tip and it works! I made this dish a couple of nights ago, and wanted to caramelize more onions for the topping for tonights's left-overs. They literally finished in a few minutes with the tiniest little dusting of baking soda. And it didn't change the flavor or texture of the onions at all. Thanks. :-)
@@katiekanelos415 When trying new recipes, try on only a part first, just incase it doesn't work. I learned the hard way. Hope you try again and it works. I haven't tried yet.... need to practice very well. I made gravy one time with Flour.... flour puffed out when you talk🤣 My friend saved my gravy. I learned a better way to make it. Took a decade to try.
I love love love mujdara I only found o e resturant in my area at sassols….I know if I try to make it won’t taste the same lol I’d love to try this though
YES, this is the proper way people, I’ve seen others make it with only onions on top. Caramelized onions have to be fully integrated as one of the main ingredients while cooking.👏
I just made it. Beautiful perfection! I’ve eaten mujadara several times, but had never made it from scratch. I now have another new rice dish under my belt that I’ll cook again and again for years to come. :-)
My notes: Beluga lentils par-cooked for just 10mins. Long grain white basmati rinsed then soaked for just 10mins. A total of 2.5 large onions, and the spices.
This looks nutritious, delicious, and affordable. Exactly the type of dishes I'm looking for during these times. Btw, I love your cooking pots.
I love Palestinian dishes! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
This is my second time making it this week because the batch I made on Monday didn’t last very long. It’s so good 😋
I've been meaning to make this dish for a while... but you have finally given me the last bit of inspiration I need. I LOVE how you focus on the importance of the onions. And how you are willing to push both batches of onions to the brink where they are almost about to get burned... but not quite. That knife's edge is where great taste lives. Thank you!
Excellent recipe! Turned out delicious. Thank you Suzie.
In the winter that is one of my go to lunches that I meal prep and have for the week. I had a little bit of Cayenne pepper because I like it a little spicy and then a dollop of Greek yogurt. Such a delicious dish
Looks AWESOME! "YUM"!
That's crazy I cooked Mujadara yesterday! Will try this recipe next time.
I will be making this today! Love your cookware and I have the same backsplash.

That looks amazing. Going to try it with a salad and maybe some grilled chicken.
Looks great. Looks like a dish I need to try, but black lentils? Must find them here.
Made your Hashweh. My family makes this alot, I loved your version with raisins and nuts. My Palestinian mom makes lots of vegetarian dishes, she's made it but it's been awhile. This sounds so good, will try it.
link to aqua skillet please!!! gorgeous and i can't wait to make this.
Nice one, thank you! I make Mujaddara with burghul, but I will try it with rice.
Hope you enjoy!!
I used your recipe and made this for the first time ever, today! Its sooo good 😋 thank you!
Edit: I eat brown rice so I used it in the recipe and it works!
Sounds great! I am so glad you enjoyed it!!
Looks awesome! What if Batsmati rice is used?
What sort of cookware are you using? It looks a beautiful aqua blue with gold handles.
I was hoping you would show us Mujadara!!! Can you please show us how to make Koshari soon? Love your channel ❤
I don’t have a video yet for koshari but I do have a recipe on my website here: www.themediterraneandish.com/egyptian-koshari-recipe/
Wow it looks so tempting. 👌👌👌❤️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Best wishes always 🌹🌹🌹
You are so welcome!
There is a restaurant in NC where I used to get this dish after dance class. So excited to try making it myself!! We're trying it tonight. I wanted to ask what kind of pans you used in this video? Are they ceramic?
❤️
Hi thank you 🙏 please share pan brand looks great quality and want to change my Teflon
Have prepared this today and was AMAZING🔝👏💖Thanks for sharing this video... only thing I changed was making the crispy onion for top, right after everything was covered cooking in low heat. Side dish: tomato salad with chopped parsley and tsatziki👌😋
Another great dish! Your recipes and channel are just awesome, my new favorite! ❤️ Can you tell me the name of the beautiful cookware that you are using?
The brand of the cookware is Caraway
Mňam mňam ❤
This was delicious ! Thank you for the recipe ! Next time, i'll probably add bits of bacon to make it crispier !
Where did you buy these beautiful pans. Please share buying link. MAJADARA is looking delicious
I love Onions and lentils too….
This looks Amazing I will try it tomorrow hopefully I have enough onions 😊!
Enjoy!
👍👌
New recipe,thank u for sharing ,new friend here💌more power to your channel, your cooking pot is so pretty as you are🤩
Thanks and welcome!!
Can you make that salad with couscous and parsley and tomatoes, I don't remember what it's called but it's so delicious
Can I use split red lentils?
Where are those pan from?
Looks yum, thanks! Can I substitute regular green/brown lentils? (The common cheap ones.) I'll try it .....
Sure!
I'll try making onions crispy in a air fryer I just brought. Not enough pans for everything
That'll work!
We make black lentil rice inpakistan
Hi! Are your cooking pots from Table and Thyme?
Caraway!
How much water?
💙We have almost the same dish in Cyprus called mujedra, obviously from the same origin…which is.. ?🤔🤓
Could I use brown lentils?
Yes brown lentils will work too. Enjoy!
@@TheMediterraneanDish could you do a mix of both?
I could not see how much water you added to the rice. Did you use 2 cups to boil the lentils and 2 cups to make the rice?
I've never seen oil that dark. What is it?
It’s extra virgin olive oil
@@TheMediterraneanDish just store bought? Looks interesting.
I just made this a few hours ago, reminds me of the one i had a few years ago that i always wanted to try again. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. That's alot of oil used.
Spoken like a person who only adds 1/4 tsp salt to home cooked meals lol
@@jaundice100 yep, that's me lol .
No cumin?
mine did not turn out like this, the rice turned to mush
Did you get a new kitchen??
Yes!
It’s so beautiful! Congrats!
@@TheMediterraneanDish beautiful!!
WTF. HOW MUCH RICE????????
She’s definitely leb.!!!
