🧂 सामग्री
- 1 cup Brown or green lentils(rinsed)
- 1 cup Long-grain rice(rinsed)

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown. This can take 20-30 minutes. Set aside about half of the caramelized onions for garnish.

In the same pot (add more olive oil if needed), add the remaining caramelized onions and sauté for another minute.

Add the rinsed lentils and rice to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and toast for about 1 minute.
- 4
Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and both the lentils and rice are tender.

Let the mujaddara rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat. Fluff with a fork.

Serve the mujaddara hot, topped with the reserved caramelized onions and chopped fresh parsley.
