| Mujadara (lentils and rice) Cheap, easy, and good! (not low fat, though--hey, you can't have it ALL!) Mujadara 3 large onions, weighing about 1-1/2 pounds total, cut in half and sliced 1⁄2-cup extra virgin olive oil 1-1/4 cup large brown or green lentils (the regular lentils in the supermarket are fine) 1-1/4 cups long-grain 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. Rinse the lentils in cold water and drain. Cook in 4-1/2 cups water for 20 minutes. Add half of the fried onions and the rice to the lentils. Season with salt and pepper and stir well. Put the lid on and cook over very low hear for about 20 minutes, or until the rice and lentils are tender, watching and adding more water if it becomes too dry. At the same time, put the remaining onions in the pan back on the fire, and continue to fry them, stirring often, over medium to high heat, until they are a dark brown – almost caramelized. Serve the lentils or rice cold or warm in a wide shallow dish with the onions sprinkled on top and the remaining raw oil poured all over. |

| Now that sounds delicious! I may make that when the kids are at school Thursday and leave off a little of the oil on top.  The kids would probably like that too. Annie eats lentils like they are candy  Cooked of course

After staring at the door for many years, it finally occured to me to go look for the open window. I discovered I like sunlight and warmth much more than peeling old doors anyway, so I climbed out the window and reveled in my discovery. I will never sit behind a closed door again, no matter how comfortable my chair becomes. Me  |
