Lebanese Mujadara _ Lentil rice with caramelised onions

Описание: Lebanese Mujadara Lentil rice with caramelised onions
Lentils and onions are best friends as demonstrated perfectly with this recipe; cumin toned lentil rice is lavished with heaps of sweet caramalised onion.

This store cupboard dish is one of those I usually make when I have few fresh ingredients in the house and then when I make it I remember how wonderful it is and make a note to myself that I should definitely make it more often.

Mujadara is a lentil based dish cooked with either rice or bulgur wheat. It has several variations such as 'mujadara hamra' (reddened lentils with bulgur wheat) or 'mujadara makhbousa' which can be described as 'messy lentils' and has a texture similar to a risotto.
