Mejedra, Majadra, or even Enjadra are various spellings for a Middle Eastern, Sephardic comfort food. Warm and earthy, the slightly sweet and toasty flavor of well done caramelized onions with rice containing lentils is very satisfying.  It is often eaten plain, as a side dish, or sometimes with yogurt for a quick lunch.  When creating this recipe I opened my pantry and decided that instead of white basmati rice to make it with a brown rice with a little wild rice blended in.  It was delicious but the regular white basmati is traditional.
Ingredients
  • 2 large brown onions
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, I prefer safflower or sunflower
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 1/ 2 cups rice, brown, white basmati
  • 1/ 2 cup rinsed and checked brown lentils
  • 3 cups water
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
