This recipe is based loosely on mujadara, a staple of the Middle East that has many variations depending on the country or even the community. It’s often served as a side dish, but I like it as a main course, especially when serving a group. If you have time, pan-fried caramelized onion slices are a great garnish. <br /> <br />Excerpted from Mad Hungry Family by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books). Copyright © 2016.
