Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Lentils
Rinse the brown lentils under cold water. In a pot, add lentils and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Rice
In a separate pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the washed rice and stir for a minute. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 minutes until rice is tender.
3. Caramelize the Onions
While the rice is cooking, slice the onions thinly. In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients
Once the lentils and rice are cooked, combine them in a large bowl. Add the caramelized onions, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
5. Serve
Serve warm, garnished with extra caramelized onions if desired. Enjoy your Mujadara!
