1
Start by rinsing the long-grain rice until water runs clear. Then soak it in plenty of cold water for 15 minutes.
2
Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan. Add the thinly sliced onions, cook over medium heat until they are brown and crispy. Remove half the onions and set them aside for garnishing.
3
To the same pan with the remaining onions, add the rinsed green lentils, stir to combine.
4
Add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Simmer until lentils are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
5
Sprinkle in the salt and add in the soaked and drained rice. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
6
Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes to ensure the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.
7
Stir the dish gently with a fork to mix. Serve the Mujadara hot garnished with the reserved caramelized onion.
