Mujadara

Ingredients for Mujadara

• 80ml olio d'oliva

• 4 or 5 large onions, halved and thinly sliced (use the slicing blade on your food processor, or a mandoline if you have one)

• Sale e pepe

• N/A pepe nero appena macinato

• 350ml brown or green lentils, sorted and rinsed

• 230g long-grain white rice

• Plain yoghurt or soured cream, optional, for serving

1. Heat the olive oil in a very large nonstick skillet over low heat (if you only have smaller skillets, divide the oil and onions between two). When the oil shimmers, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Meanwhile, bring 1075ml water to a boil in a large saucepan or small stockpot and add the lentils. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then add the rice and half the cooked onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer, covered, over very low heat until the lentils and rice are tender, about 20 minutes more. You may need to add more water toward the end; check after 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

3. While the rice and lentils are cooking, cook the onions remaining in the skillet over low heat, stirring often, until dark brown and nearly crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Serve hot or at room temperature, with browned onions sprinkled on top. Add a dollop of the yoghurt or soured cream if desired.
