About This Recipe
Rice and lentil porridge with bacon is not quite porridge, but almost a pilaf. The combination of rice with lentils might seem rather exotic to some. However, connoisseurs of Middle Eastern cuisine are surely familiar with mujaddara - a vegetarian dish where the main ingredients are lentils and rice. This dish is traditionally served in all cafes and snack bars in North African countries and Israel. Our recipe is very similar to this eastern specialty. But we decided to make it more filling by adding bacon. Prepare rice and lentil porridge with bacon for lunch or dinner if you want to surprise your loved ones and delight them with something unusual yet very tasty.
