Receta Lentils & rice or, Mujaddara
This was just about the easiest dish that I've ever made. Lentils, rice, caramelized onions, ground coriander salt and pepper.
That's it, easy peasy and filling too!
- I've made this twice so far and find it easiest if you cook the rice and lentils separately otherwise you end up with mushy lentils (yuck)
- 1 cup Lentils, cooked
- 1 cup rice, cooked
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2-3 Tbs oil
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Ground coriander
I always cook my lentils with a bay leaf, it gives them a nice flavor and smells wonderful too.
Sautee the onion with about 1/2 tsp salt in 203 Tbs oil. Cook over low heat until golden and soft.
In a large bowl mix together the lentils and rice, add salt & pepper to taste and then add coriander. Mix in the onions and serve.
Last night for dinner I served this with lemon chicken and it was fantastic.
