My recipe's good but not great. It is kind of a bland dish. I no longer love it as a main, but as a co-main or side it's great. And it keeps in the fridge and reheats so nicely. I usually make tahini sauce in two batches, first when I make the mujadara and then again several days later. ... If you're spending longer than you'd like caramelizing onions, try cooking them at a higher temperature. ... I make mujadara with one pot. Cook the caramelized onions first and then the lentils and rice second. For caramelizing the onions, I cook on the highest setting, and it only takes maybe 12 min, but I'm stirring it frequently to constantly. The things I do to make it less bland (tl;dr) are the one-pot method, onions in the lentils and rice directly, extra spices, and tahini sauce. Unfortunately I've forgotten and can't re-find by searching up the recipe I learned it from. But here's the basics (for ~6-8 servings -- it's very inexpensive :):

thank you! my wife and i take turns cooking and it's my night tonight, i think i will give this a shot!
That sounds like a nice arrangement! Let me know how it goes if you try it :D
i'm recovering from COVID (ugh, it's terrible) and we have both been too wiped out to cook lately, so i did not get to it. it's on my list for either Thursday night or this weekend, though. i'll post a reply and maybe some photos if it goes okay.
Sounds good but no pressure and I hope you feel better soon :)!
