Mujaddara is a classic Lebanese dish made by cooking rice and lentils together and topping them with plenty of caramelized onions. Though made with simple ingredients, the deeply browned onions make it hearty and flavorful.
Cook the onions in most of the olive oil over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, until deep golden brown. Set aside.
Parboil the lentils in water over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Add the lentils, rice, water, cumin, salt, and remaining olive oil. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over low heat for 18–20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Top with the caramelized onions and serve warm or hot.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
