Mujaddara with Spiced Yogurt recipe from Food52. Author Notes: During my time living in Israel, my favorite place for upscale-ish dining was an unassuming neighborhood joint that put modern spins on traditional dishes. Their take on mujaddara was actually pretty traditional -- jasmine rice, lentils, loads of caramelized onions -- but they topped it all with a cumin-spiked spiced yogurt that was out of this world. I've tried to replicate it here. I've also substituted puy lentils for the traditional green lentils, as they hold their shape better.

Organic Quinoa for Breakfast? Here's How I Prepare It.
I am a huge, huge fan of quinoa and eat it for dinner several times per week. In fact, quinoa with kimchi or other fermented foods might be one of my absolute favorite meals. Wanting to see how I could incorporate organic quinoa into my breakfast and seeking a gluten-free alternative to oatmeal or oat bran, I tried making quinoa porridge. And, I was pleasantly surprised at the results. The key to it is to take the quinoa and put it in a coffee grinder in order to get finely ground quinoa flour. Once you have that, you then prepare it exactly in the same way as you would oatmeal.
To be honest, the taste seemed a little strange in the beginning because for my entire life I have been eating oatmeal and expected something similar. Furthermore, it was pretty dry when eaten alone. However, once I added in nuts and fruit, that made an enormous difference and I really started to enjoy it. For sure, I’ll be eating this again and quinoa flour is great to take with you when traveling. Pita bread. Oh, am I so happy to finally have a great pita recipe.
