Lebanese Lentils Mujadara
I grew up eating this- usually every friday, because my family doesn't eat meat on fridays. its so good, i personally consider it comfort food. its healthy, simple, and full of fiber! I often eat leftovers in a sandwich with veggies. goes well with olives, pita bread, raw onion, celery, carrots, lettuce.
