1 to 2 onions sliced
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup lentils washed and strained
1 cup wheat washed and strained
1/3 tsp salt
Dash pepper
3 to 4 cups water

Place lentils in large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Add wheat to the lentils, stirring occasionally. In a skillet, add olive oil and sliced onion and cook until dark brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning and when done, drain the oil. Remove from heat, add salt, pepper. Mash the onions and add to the lentil and wheat mixture. In the same skillet, cook additional onions to place on top of the mujadara. Cook the lentil and wheat mixture until liquid is absorbed. Take care not to overcook or the mixture will become mushy. Place on serving dish and top with additional fried onions. Serve with Tabbouleh or Fattoush.
