One Pot Lentil and Rice Recipe Inspired by Lebanese Mujadara ???????? Easy Plant-Based Recipes for Vegans
This recipe is inspired by Lebanese Mujadara and a combination of a few Mediterranean recipes (however, I have added Ginger because of its various health benefits, especially with digestion).
➡️ When you come back, you’ll have one of the crucial ingredients for a vegan rice recipe that is rich in flavor owing to the inspiration of an old-world favorite dish from the Middle East. Next, you can prepare the sweet and fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and spices!
I hope you enjoy this modern instance of a centuries-old dish!

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 to 5 servings)
1 Cup / 200g BROWN LENTILS ONLY (washed and soaked in water for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender)
1 Cup /200g BASMATI Rice (thoroughly washed/soaked in water for 20 minutes)
3 Cup / 400g Chopped Onions - 2 medium size onions (430g with skin on)
1 Tablespoon ginger (very finely chopped)
1 Tablespoon garlic (very finely chopped)
3/4 Cup Strained Tomatoes / Passata / Tomato Puree
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper OR to taste (Optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
Garnish:
3/4 cup / 70g Parsley (finely chopped)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste (I added 1/2 teaspoon)
Lemon or Lime juice to taste (I added 1+1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, I like it a bit sour)
Extra Virgin Olive oil (I added 2 tablespoons of organic cold-pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
✅???? USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH (this will cook the rice more evenly and prevent it from getting mushy).
Wash and soak the brown lentils for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender. Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it's an important step so do not skip it). Soak for 20 minutes.
Heat a pan, add cooking oil, onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Adding salt to the onions will help release water and help it cook faster. Fry the onion on medium-high heat until it starts to caramelize. Once caramelized, reduce the heat to medium to medium-low heat (depending on the heat of your stove) and add finely chopped ginger and garlic. Fry until onions are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the onion).
Once the onion is caramelized, add the strained tomatoes/passata and spices. Give it a good mix. Add the soaked lentil and rice, along with salt and water. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Uncover and check to see if the rice and lentils are cooked (it should be cooked by now, if its not, cover and cook it for a bit longer). Now continue to cook UNCOVER for another 1 to 2 minutes on low heat to get rid of any excess moisture. Turn off the heat.
Add parsley, lemon juice, black pepper and drizzle of olive oil. Mix very gently, the rice is delicate at this point and we don't want to break it. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving (for flavors to blend).
Stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. It's perfect for meal planning.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Soak lentils until they are very tender. The soaking time depends on the quality of the lentils. Some brown lentils are drier than the others and therefore need more soaking time
???? How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak longer
???? It's really important that the lentils soak well. The reason is to match the cooking time of lentils with the rice
???? USE A WIDER POT TO COOK THIS DISH (this will cook the rice more evenly and prevent it from getting mushy)

How to Cook Brazilian Feijoada: Traditional Black Bean and Pork Stew [ Legendas PT]
In Brazil, there is one dish to rule them all. You will find one dish cooked with passion and eaten with great pleasure, all across Brazil from the North to the South. That dish is Feijoada, the national dish of Brazil.
Feijoada is so popular with Brazilians that even the vegans and vegetarians will confess that it is the ONLY meat dish they truly miss. That is because Feijoada is more than just a meal; it is an experience you share with your friends, family, and community. Someone has even described it as Brazilian soul food. The meal itself is eaten over the day. However, around the pot goes the laughing, chatting, singing, dancing, cheering and bonding. This particular recipe has been cooked by me countless times, for groups of a dozen or more Brazilian friends who all miss the little things from back home. You will see one of these parties at the end of the video, and then you will understand what I mean by an experience you share. So, stay tuned to the end.

The Recipe
-------------------
Everyone's Feijoada recipes are slightly different, but fundamentally they are all the same. So don't be surprised if your Brazilian friend, partner or mother-in-law recommends less garlic, more salt, add an orange, or use pork feet, etc. Over time, you will develop your own unique way of cooking it. I say this so you don't feel that you must follow this recipe rigidly - it is soul food, remember.
Feijoada ingredients:
500g Dry black beans
1kg Pork belly
500g Bacon
1 x Pork hock or pork knuckle (smoked works well)
2 x Chorizo sausages (if you find linguica, use about 400g)
2 x Onions
6 x Cloves of garlic
6 x Bay leaves
Salt
Water
Side dishes:
Rice
Orange slices
Chinese broccoli or kale
Farofa
Farofa Ingredients:
500g Toasted Cassava Flour (Farinha de Mandioca Torrada)
1 x Onion
3 x Garlic cloves
250g Bacon
1 x Cup of parsley
4 x Boiled eggs (cold and quartered)
