Mujadara and Cucumber Yogurt

If there’s one meal I consider my fallback go-to dish in my kitchen, it’s this authentic mujadara dish. It’s one of those recipes where the dish is greater than the sum of its parts. Lebanese mujadara consists of only three main ingredients: rice, lentils, and onions. These simple ingredients come together so beautifully and have a fantastic texture of soft grains with deeply caramelized and fried onions; so good! Paired with a fresh Middle Eastern cucumber yogurt salad, known as khyar bi laban, is a creamy and refreshing yogurt-based salad made with cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, and mint
