Easy dinner - Lebanese style

Tonight, I’m making Majudarrah (Lebanese Lentils and Rice).

1 cup lentils
1 cup white or brown rice
2 medium to large onions
olive oil
garlic, minced
cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
yogurt
4-5 cups water

Peel and slice/dice onions and fry slowly in olive oil until golden brown. If you’re using white rice, add the lentils, water and salt; cook 15 minutes, then add the rice, cover the pot and finish cooking. If you’re using brown rice, add it to the pot at the same time as the lentils. When its cooked, stir to mix in the onions (they’ll all be on the top) and serve with yogurt.

I will post a picture when it is done.

All done.
