Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup green lentil (or brown)
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, roots trimmed
2 1/4 teaspoons salt, more as needed
1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups greens, trimmed and chopped (chard leaves, spinach, kale, mustard or a combination)

Steps:

  • Place lentils in a large bowl and add warm tap water to cover by 1 inch. Let soak.
  • Meanwhile, halve leeks lengthwise; run under warm water to release any grit. Thinly slice leeks crosswise.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer half the leeks to a bowl to use for garnish and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Stir garlic into the pot with the remaining leeks and cook for 15 seconds until fragrant. Stir in rice and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, allspice and cayenne; sauté 30 seconds.
  • Drain lentils and stir into pot. Add 4-1/4 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Rinse greens in a colander and spread damp leaves over lentil mixture. Cover and cook 5 minutes more, until rice and lentils are tender and greens are wilted. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with reserved crispy leeks.

This mujadara was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

The mujadara was good, but the crispy leeks and spring greens were a bit too oily for my taste.

This mujadara was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
