Sarah Trad’s Southern Lebanese Mdardra with Black Lentils and Bulgur

Sarah Trad, author of 'Beit Trad', shares a recipe for mdardra jnoubiyeh, a southern Lebanese variation of the classic lentil dish. Instead of rice, this version uses coarse brown bulgur and is topped with crispy fried onion. The recipe includes black lentils, spices like cumin, cinnamon, and allspice, and an infused onion water for depth. It is served with orange segments and thick Greek-style yogurt. The book is published by Thames & Hudson Australia for $69.99.
