You want to save at least half an hour when caramelizing your onions? Add a really tiny bit of baking soda to them and in just a few minutes your onions will caramelize like magic.

I tried your tip and it works! I made this dish a couple of nights ago, and wanted to caramelize more onions for the topping for tonights's left-overs. They literally finished in a few minutes with the tiniest little dusting of baking soda. And it didn't change the flavor or texture of the onions at all. Thanks. :-)

@@katiekanelos415 When trying new recipes, try on only a part first, just incase it doesn't work. I learned the hard way. Hope you try again and it works. I haven't tried yet.... need to practice very well. I made gravy one time with Flour.... flour puffed out when you talk🤣 My friend saved my gravy. I learned a better way to make it. Took a decade to try.

I just made it. Beautiful perfection! I’ve eaten mujadara several times, but had never made it from scratch. I now have another new rice dish under my belt that I’ll cook again and again for years to come. :-) My notes: Beluga lentils par-cooked for just 10mins. Long grain white basmati rinsed then soaked for just 10mins. A total of 2.5 large onions, and the spices.

YES, this is the proper way people, I’ve seen others make it with only onions on top. Caramelized onions have to be fully integrated as one of the main ingredients while cooking.👏

I've been meaning to make this dish for a while... but you have finally given me the last bit of inspiration I need. I LOVE how you focus on the importance of the onions. And how you are willing to push both batches of onions to the brink where they are almost about to get burned... but not quite. That knife's edge is where great taste lives. Thank you!
