Mujaddara is a simple but flavorful rice and lentil pilaf, topped with sweet caramelized onions. Serve alone or as the base of just about any meal.
- 1 large onion, cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup lentils, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups Basmati rice
- Fry the onions in oil until tender. Remove the onions and spread on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the extra oil.
- To the oil, add the lentils, salt, 3 tablespoons oil and water. Bring to a boil with occasional stirring.
- Add the rice, bring back to a boil and let boil until most of the water is absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to low and let simmer 15-20 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender. Add more water if needed.
- To serve, spoon rice mixture onto a large platter then sprinkle the fried onions on top of the rice. Sprinkle with a dash of salt.
