So my new years resolution was to take my lunch to work more often than I buy lunch. So far, I’ve been pretty good about it, some weeks I bring lunch every day, some weeks it’s once or twice, but let’s just say that the average is on my side. Since making this resolution, I’ve had to add more recipes to my arsenal–cheap, flavorful and healthy recipes that allow me to make a few meals over the weekend, package them up and put them in the fridge to pull out on my way out the door in the morning.
Imjaddarah is a Lebanese recipe, often made for Friday Lenten dinners. The recipe I’m writing won’t be used for any Friday night though, since it calls for a cup and a half of chicken broth. Sure, you can use veggie broth for a Friday night or a vegetarian meal, but all I had in my pantry was chicken, so there you are. This has a few extra ingredients from your basic Imjaddarah, which you can find here: Imaddarah Lentils and Rice.
