Pro Tips

  • Really caramelize onions for 25–30 minutes — this is the heart of the dish, do not rush it.
  • Cannabutter when browning the onions — the long cooking time activates THC optimally.
  • Mujaddara is one of the oldest dishes in human history — Arabs call it the 'poor man's dish,' but it tastes like a feast.
