Majedra everything in one pot (photo: Alon Masika, styling: Yael Magen)
There are quite a few versions of the beloved majedra dish, but I especially like this one, because unlike the others, which often require cooking the ingredients separately and then combining them together, here everything is cooked together.
The bulgur does not need a long cooking time, therefore its short cooking in the water in which the lentils were cooked is sufficient for it.
In this way, it also absorbs the cooking liquid of the black lentils, which adds flavor, color and even nutritional values.
Note that the secret to any good majdera is a well-fried brown onion, be sure to fry it patiently first, everything else is child's play.

Preparation
How do you make Majedra all in one pot?
1 In a medium cooking pot, heat the oil and olive oil, add the onion and fry on a medium-low flame until the onion softens and takes on a dark yellow color.
Stir occasionally and make sure the onion doesn't soften.
2 Add the spices and sugar to the onion, mix and fry for another minute.
3 Pour the water into the pot and add the black lentils.
When the water boils, lower the flame and cook for 18 minutes in a covered pot.
4 Add the bulgur to the pot and cook for another 10-15 minutes in a covered pot, until all the water is absorbed.
5 Grate the lemon peel into the majedra pot and mix gently.
Drizzle with more olive oil, taste, add more salt if needed and serve.
