Mujaddara is a classic Arabic recipe that consists of cooked brown lentils together with rice (white or brown), and garnished with caramelized or sautéed onions. In Kenya we call it 'Mchele Kamande' and most households have prepared it. I just added some garnish and onions to make it more flavourful. Enjoy! #Mujaddara #CaramelizedOnions #TheMeChallenge #McheleKamande #FollowMeIFollowBack
