Mujadara — Middle Eastern recipe
Mujadara, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Mujadara

Lentils and rice cooked together in one pot under a great heap of onions fried down until they are dark, sweet and crisp. Four cheap ingredients, and the onions are not a garnish — they are most of the flavor, which is why they take the better part of an hour.
