published Jun 16, 2023 Mujadara is one of those culinary creations that covers all bases. This traditional Middle Eastern comfort food will tantalize your taste buds, nourish your body, and comfort your spirit. This humble but mighty recipe is brought to life with toasted coriander and cumin seeds, plus an all-star lineup of fragrant, aromatic spices like cinnamon, allspice, and turmeric. However, the real star of the show might just be the crispy fried onions! They add a potent pop of flavor and texture to an already delicious meal.
