Ingredients
Method
- Rinse lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rinsed lentils with three cups of water; bring to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Rinse rice under cold water. In another pot, bring two cups of water to a boil; add rinsed rice and salt.
- Once lentils are cooked, drain any excess water if needed and mix with boiling rice.
- Cover the pot tightly and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; sauté sliced onions until golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). Serve Mujadara topped with caramelized onions.

Adjust spices to your preference; try adding coriander or paprika for variation.
