A most delicious smackeral!

I simply adore lentils and rice! Don't you?
Majadarah (Mujadarah), is it's other name.
You cook the lentils separate from the rice (some recipes add them in the same pot, but you have more control of the texture if you cook them separately), then put them together when you are ready to eat them. I season the rice only with a little salt, sometimes you might add some Turmeric.
To the lentils I add only salt and a little Cumin, but ever so often I also include a little soup mix to infuse more body to the flavor.
Most commonly you top them with a lovely crown of onions ( cooked until caramelized) , fresh tomatoes, and a sprinkling of fresh parsley (or you could add cilantro if you like).
I happen to love raw onions (my husband loves me all the more for this trait), some sliced fried eggplant, lettuce, a little hot sauce around the edges (normally you would have Harrissa ).
And lovingly top the whole thing with a bit of Hummus.
I LOVE IT!!!!
I know for some of you purists, I may have added a bit much, but you must admit, it looks ( and tastes) delectable!
This is all you need for a great lunch....you may however wish to include an ice cold beer........
