LENTILS AND RICE WITH FRIED ONIONS (MUJADARRAH)
This may sound like a plain recipe, but believe me, it's wonderful! It is an easy-to-make Middle Eastern comfort food that combines lentils, rice and delicious fried onions. The yogurt really gives it a super flavor!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook about 10 minutes, until browned. Remove from heat, and set aside.

- Stir rice and enough water to cover into the saucepan with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper. Cover saucepan, and continue to simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until rice and lentils are tender.
- Mix half the onions into the lentil mixture. Top with yogurt or sour cream and remaining onions to serve.

EASY ONE POT LENTILS AND RICE
I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

Steps:
- Cover the lentils with the water.
- Peel and crush the garlic cloves lightly with the back of a knife. Leave the cloves whole, so that they flavor the dish but can be removed if desired. (I leave them out of the kids' portions, and give them to my DH and myself).
- Add garlic to the pot, along with the bay leaves, cumin seeds and cinnamon. (DO NOT add salt at this point, as lentils will not cook properly).
- Bring to a boil. Cook at a boil until the lentils are just tender. This should take about 25 minutes, but may take longer dependig on the age of your lentils.
- Add the rice, salt and olive oil, and bring back to a boil.
- Stir, cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Check to make sure the rice is done, adjust seasonings, and serve. If there is still too much liquid in the pan, just let it sit uncovered for a few minutes.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large pot, sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the water, green lentils, and salt to the large pot. Bring to a boil.
- Cover with lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
- To make the caramelized onions, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over low heat and add the onion slices, stirring occasionally until completely soft, dark brown, and caramelized.
- NOTE: This will take about 30 minutes. The onions should become very dark and tacky when finished. Stir often to avoid burning.
- Add the rice, cumin, cinnamon, and bayleaf to the lentils. Stir.
- Cook covered for about 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
- Serve lentils and rice topped with the caramelized onions, chopped fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and Greek yogurt if desired.
- Enjoy!

RICE & LENTILS WITH A TWIST
This is my version of Rice & Lentils, after adding things over the years. I love this stuff and my husband is polite about it.:) It is not a pretty dish, but it is healthy comfort food at it's best! I am a slow prep person, this may go much faster for you. ;)

Steps:
- Peel and chop sweet potatoes and apples into chunks, and put in a large bowl.
- Peel and chop onions.
- Rinse and check lentils and put in a large dutch oven. Add enough cold water to reach 2 inches above the lentils. Set in pan over high heat.
- While water is warming add paprika, cayenne pepper, cardamom, and cumin.
- Put oil in a frying pan, over medium heat, and add chopped onions. Add cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger. Heat until onions are soft and spices are fragrant.
- When water comes to boil in dutch oven, add red rice and stir. Let boil while the onions are cooking. When onions are finished add to dutch oven along with sweet potatoes and apples. Reduce to medium heat and cover, stirring occasionally. If you need more water(and you will) boil it first to keep cooking temperature steady.
- Cook about 30 minutes more or until sweet potatoes and apples are very soft.
- Garnish with yogurt or sour cream.
