Preparation

Step 1

Cook onions in oil with 1/4 tsp salt in a 3-qt heavy saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.

Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, set aside about a third of onions for garnish.

Add lentils to onions remaining in pan with water, a rounded 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper.

Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat 20 minutes. Stir in bulgur and cook, covered, until lentils and bulgur are tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Serve topped with reserved onions and yogurt if using.
