Recipes Main Dishes Rice Beans and Rice Recipes Whole Rice and Lentils (Majadara) 4.4 (34) 27 Reviews 4 Photos One of my 'Israeli' recipes that I've adapted for whole rice (that in my opinion needs more seasoning). Good as a whole meal or as a side dish. Freezes fairly well, too. Recipe by shari p Published on April 3, 2019 Save Saved!
