MUJADARA

Lentils, rice, olive oil, and onions-this Middle Eastern standard is the ultimate pantry recipe. It's also the classic example of a dish that's greater than the sum of its parts. There are literally dozens of recipes for mujadara out there-each country, possibly even each family, seems to have its own version.

Steps:

  • 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 4 1/2 cups 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 yogurt or sour cream if desired.

1/3 cup olive oil
4 or 5 large onions, halved and thinly sliced (use the slicing blade on your food processor, or a mandoline if you have one)
Salt and pepper
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups brown or green lentils, sorted and rinsed
1 1/4 cups long-grain white rice
Plain yogurt or sour cream, optional, for serving

  • In a small bowl combine the cumin, cinnamon, allspice, coriander, turmeric, pepper and salt and blend. Set aside.
  • Pu the rice, butter and chicken broth in a medium sized microwavable bowl. Cover with a glass plate. Microwave on high for 10 minutes (you can go on to the next steps). When done, remove and use a fork to gently separate the rice. Add the spice mixture and blend well. Recover with the lid and let it sit and steam. Use the fork to toss and separate the grain a second time (after about 10 minutes).

Don’t let the liquid completely dry out. When the lentils are tender, remove from heat, cover and set aside.
  • Put the onion rings in a bowl, cover with ¼ cup oil and the flour and toss and coat well. In a heavy cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add remaining oil and let it get hot. Add the onions (flour and all) and sauté about 5 minutes then reduce the heat to medium and cook another 15-20 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Toss and turn occasionally as the onions are cooking. When done, remove from the heat.

  • Heat the oil in a pot and fry the onions, in batches, in the hot oil for about 5 minutes until they are browned and crisp. Test the oil by dropping an onion in, it should sizzle on contact. If the onions fry too quickly, reduce the heat. I found that 300F worked well, if you have a thermometer.
  • Rinse the lentils well, put them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook for about 12 minutes, until the lentils have begun to soften, but still have some bite to them. Drain and set aside.

  • Place the lentils in a small saucepan, cover with plenty of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 12 - 15 minutes, until the lentils have softened but still have a little bite. Drain and set aside.
  • Peel the onions and slice 1 and a half of the onions thinly, set the other half aside. Heat the sunflower oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan placed over high heat. Carefully add the sliced onion and reduce the heat to medium high. Sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the onion take on a nice golden brown colour and most of it turns crispy (adjust the temperature if the onion is browning too quickly). Transfer the onion to a plate lined with paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Place a large heavy saucepan, or pot, over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for about 1 minute. Add the olive oil and diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the turmeric, allspice, cinnamon, coriander, rice, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the rice with the oil and then add the cooked lentils and the water. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
