Description
Each home and each country throughout the Middle East has a slightly different take on mujaddara, a hearty, healthy, much-loved dish of rice and lentils. Deeply browned onions add flavor to every bite, and raw vegetables add freshness and crunch. The recipe, which makes 8 cups, is a Yummly original created by Rania Renno.

Directions
- Dice 1 onion and set aside. Slice remaining onions lengthwise into long, thin strips.
- Heat a 5- to 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, add thinly sliced onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until onions are a deep, dark brown color, about 20 minutes. They may appear like they are overcooked, but this is how you want them! With a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add olive oil and diced onion to the pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until onion is translucent, 4-5 minutes.
