Mujadara

Mujadara, a traditional Middle Eastern dish of lentils and rice. I made this for the Taste of Ideal gathering last year at the Ideal Green Market. It was the first time I'd tried this recipe. Happily, it was well received. Click here for a video of the recipe. I made some substitutions but this is a recipe I want to try again soon. I'm tempted to add raisins. It's the kind of recipe that's easy to customize and make it your own. Everyone commented on the warm spices. Mmmmm comfort food that's good for us!

This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer. In brief:
