Nistisima

Georgina Hayden · Nistisima

Various forms of this lentil dish, which you likely know as mujadara, are popular throughout the Middle East; some with tomato, others with just onion, spiced or with herbs. You can think of it as a rice side, but we often eat this Cypriot version as a main meal with a vinegary chopped salad, and thick Greek yoghurt if we're not fasting.
