Bulgur Mujaddara

Ingredients

Mujaddara

• 1 cup lentils
• 2 cups bulgur
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 stock cube (optional)
• 1 onion, sliced and dusted with flour, for topping

Side salad

• Finely chopped tomato, parsley, lettuce, spring onion and chili with plenty of lemon, oil and salt

Method

1. Wash the lentils well and boil in a liter of water for 20 minutes depending on the type; they should stay slightly firm.
2. Wash the bulgur without soaking and drain well.
3. In another pot (or the electric pressure cooker on sauté) soften the onion in olive oil, add the bulgur and stir 5 minutes, then add the lentils, 2 1/2 cups of their cooking water, the salt, black pepper and stock cube if using.
4. Close the pressure cooker on the rice setting for about 14 minutes; it comes out fluffy.
5. Fry the onion slices in the air fryer with a spray of oil or in plenty of olive oil, set aside and pour their oil over the cooked bulgur. Serve hot topped with the fried onions.
