Mjaddarah - Lentils, Caramelized Onions and Rice
Serves 4-6
3 large onions, cut in half and sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups large brown or green lentils
1 1/4 cups long-grain white rice
Salt and pepper
Fry the onions slowly in a large pan over very low heat in 3-4 tablespoons of the oil - covered to begin with, until they soften, stirring often, and then uncovered-- until they turn a rich golden brown.
