Mujaddara

"This absolute classic recipe from Lebanon is shared by delightful cook Emma Sofy, who has made it a signature at her renowned inner Sydney eatery Emma’s Snack Bar which started as a corner store many years ago and morphed into a beloved restaurant. The one dish that’s never left the menu is mujaddara. It’s astounding how much flavour comes from the four key ingredients - lentils, rice, onions and olive oil - but, as they say, it’s what you do with them. The accompanying garlicky cabbage salad and pickles add a fresh crunch to the earthiness of the dish."  Maeve O'Meara, Food Safari Earth
