Mujaddara
Bashaer
World Vision has been providing humanitarian assistance to millions of Syrian children and their families since war broke out in their homeland in 2011. Bashaer, her husband and five children are among them. They’ve been living in Jordan as refugees since 2012. Back home in Syria, they used to make Mujaddara twice a week. It’s a lentil and rice pilaf, common throughout the Middle East. Bashaer shared the recipe with the message “We wish you a bon appetit.”
