I constantly wonder why some dishes we hated as children have now become our favorites. Ever since I read about lentils and how good they are for a healthy and balanced diet, moujadra, a Lebanese dish I’d always dreaded, has become one of my favorites. Moujadara contains lentils and rice. Lentils are great for the health as not only do they promote weight loss, but they’re also great for the heart, cholesterol, digestion and energy⚡💪
