 Quinoa Mujaddara

I like my middle eastern dish with a twist! Introducing one of my all time favorite dishes from home! Perfectly healthy and protein filled for a perfect Meatless Monday recipe! Sahtein!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 cup lentils
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tbs flour
  • For the salad:
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 large tomato
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

How to Make It

Step 1

Start by chopping the onion, sprinkle with salt and set aside to drain

Step 2

Chop the cucumber and tomato into small cubes, add the lemon juice, olive oil, season and set aside. You may also garnish with some dried mint.

Step 3

Drop the lentils into a generous amount of boiling salted water and cook for about 15 minutes

Step 4

In the meantime, sprinkle the drained onions with 1 tbs of flour and lay out on a cooking tray and place into a hot oven (220°C) for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once the lentils have cooked, toss them into a hot skillet (reserve boiled water for later) and add the quinoa and season with a tbs of cumin. Stir for a couple of minutes.
Add the whole back into the boiled water and cook over high heat for about 15 to 20 minutes (until water has completely evaporated).

Step 6

Remove the now crunchy onions from the oven.

Step 7

Serve the quinoa and lentils and garnish with the salad and a handful of crunchy onions. Garnish with fresh or dried mint leaves

Nutritional Info:

Lentils

Lentils are often overlooked, even though they’re an inexpensive way of getting a wide range of nutrients. They’re packed with B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and potassium.

Lentils are made up of over 25% protein, which makes them an excellent meat alternative. They’re also a great source of iron, a mineral that is sometimes lacking in vegetarian diets
