Directions
Nigella Lawson Caramelized Onion & Lentil Pilaf,Came across this recipe on nytimes.com in an article written by the Kitchen Goddess herself: Nigella Lawson. Haven’t tried it yet, but I thought I’d share this. I’m drooling over the thought of it! 🙂 I did omit the ghee to make it healthier.,This was ok but not amazing. I think my main problem was the mustard seeds, which I would eliminate in the future. Also, be sure to follow her instructions and reserve some of the onions. I might even reserve all of them, because the cooked ones loose a lot of their flavor.,This was delicious but it does need either Ghee (in original recipe) or oil to caramelise the oinions in and then to turn the rice in before cooking.
