Mujaddara (or Mjaddara) is a family of lentil-based dishes and Mujaddara Safra is one type that uses red split lentils as its main ingredient. Safra means yellow referring to the vibrant yellow color the lentils take when cooked. This is a hearty, easy, 3-ingredient vegan recipe!

The first recorded recipe of Mujaddara dates back to the book Kitab al-Tabikh in 1226 AD. The original recipe was made with lentils, rice and meat and it was served at both celebrations, and when cooked without the meat, as working-class meals. In the medieval world, rice was generally more expensive than lentils so poorer people tended to cook with more legumes in proportion to rice. The recipe for mujaddara has evolved a lot and the version we are sharing today is very common where we grew up in Southern Lebanon!
