Notes about this recipe

    This is a good, straightforward recipe for mujaddarra and it came together pretty quickly. I used only half the oil and didn't miss the rest. The spicing was nice and fairly mild -- I added a generous amount of black pepper but nothing more. Topped with some garlicky, minty yogurt, a bit of lemony arugula, and some cherry tomatoes, it made a delicious and satisfying meal. Potential pitfall is that the prep can dirty quite a lot of dishes, but if you read the recipe through first and strategize a bit, you can minimize the mess.
