With the cold weather approaching us in WNY, I could not help but make my number one comfort dish. Judra. Traditionally referred to as Mujadara, Judra is my kitchen’s winter and fall staple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Judra is stewed lentils and rice with caramelized onion. This dish can be made thick or soupy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It will thicken over time so make sure not to make it with too little liquid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Serve with pita as a main dish or on the side with some grilled fish and veggies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

More liquid may need to be added as it cooks, keep an eye on it as your stir to make sure nothing is burning or sticking to the bottom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I LOVE to add cinnamon to my Lebanese Judra, but the rest of my family cannot stand it. Cinnamon is a prevalent spice used in cooking throughout the Levant, my family just chooses to omit it. A family friend that I grew up cooking with always uses it, even on plain white rice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cinnamon in America is usually associated with sweets. Have you ever tried cinnamon in a savory dish?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
