Glad you are enjoying my writing!...Hi Jane, thanks! Glad you are enjoying my writing! Yes, not easy, but we hope it will improve!<br /><br />Mujaddarah, yes, I gathered it can be vegan indeed. I was excited to realize this, it will be GREAT for Lent!!! That makes sense, esp. for Orthodox Christian Arabs who would be fasting during Lent.<br /><br />Maybe my friend's Mom created this dish this way? They were not Orthodox and her parents were protestant Christians who did not grow up in Israel... So maybe they did things a bit differently, not being from there originally...<br /><br />It does seem that at least that some people serve it along side lamb: http://orangette.net/2007/03/into-the-pantry/<br />http://laurustina.com/mujadara/<br />http://foodmomiac.typepad.com/foodmomiac/2011/10/the-monday-night-dinner-that-garnered-a-standing-ovation-lamb-meatballs-and-mujadara.html<br />https://myprimrosehillkitchen.com/2016/10/16/mujaddara/<br /><br />and this website gives history of the dish and that in the 10th century the rich had it with meat while the poor did not: http://www.glutenfreeliving.com/recipes/main-dish/arabic-lentils-rice-mujaddara/ <br /><br />here's a spin off that is similar but with ground lamb https://food52.com/recipes/20912-crispy-lentils-with-ground-lamb<br /><br />but you are totally right, I see NO recipes for Mujaddarah *with* ground lamb in it. I wonder if that is why my friend put (lamb) in () as she did. <br /><br />Remember, she was teaching me this recipe, I a white girl American living in Canada who knew very little of other countries foods. So she taught me how to make it, but I can't remember if she explained that normally this food would be vegan, the lamb separate. <br /><br />I must say though, the way she taught me is really tasty! But I look forward to making it lenten as well!!! It's delicious! <br /><br />Thanks so much for letting me know (I would not of known for who knows how long!) and found this little research I did to be so interesting!!! Thanks again so much for your comment! elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-18589843218799077642016-11-07T21:59:06.046-05:002016-11-07T21:59:06.046-05:00I'm enjoying reading your writing, and am sorr...I'm enjoying reading your writing, and am sorry your husband is not feeling well. Some of my family members have asthma, and it isn't easy. I also wanted to let you know that Mujaddarah is traditionally a vegan dish. I grew up in Palestine, and I've never heard of it served with lamb. Christian Arabs often serve it during Lent, so I was very surprised to see your recipe!
