I think you could add in the IP or after depending on the texture you want. Cooking them with make them softer, and adding right before serving will keep them chewy.

I hope you still monitor this page and will leave a reply… I have wanted for a LONG time to be able to make adas polo or something similar and I think that if I just add raisins to this it will be similar, though not with the crunchy bottom or saffron. Can I toss the raisins in with everything else or would I need to add them AFTER the pressure cook? TIA ;-D

Just what I was looking for, thank you.

I would double or even tripe the recipe and cook the same time.

Pretty sure that it can’t be called mujadara without onions. I even have a quinoa mujadara recipe. grain + lentils + onions = the fabulous mujadara!

I made this tonight using a bag of rice and lentil organic mix from Aldi’s. I added two grated carrots after the steam was released, then put the lid back on the pot and let it stay warm. I ate it with sauteed chanterelles from my front yard, some chopped chicken breast, and some chopped fresh peppermint leaves.. The seasoning was perfect! The texture wasdifinitely chewy, but I liked it. Since I’m single, I put a couple servings in the freezer Thanks for a versatile dish and the great mix of seasonings.

Thank h the used white rice too! I’m not sure about perfection, not mush!

Awesome! Don’t know much about instant pot, 1st trial rice hard and awful! Without directions and recipe your go to recipe kicked butt! I didn’t have brown lentils or coriander used all green little less and set for 12 minutes and let sit 10 minutes on warm! Perfection! Thank you!

Lunch today was fabulous! I made mine in the instant pot manual-high pressure for 15 minutes cook time and quick release. The rice was well done and the lentils still had some chew. Thanks for the recipe.
