Remove the pot from the heat and rest covered for 6 minutes.

Top with the reserved onion and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Red lentils break down very quickly; starting the rice and lentils together gives a more balanced one pot texture than adding the rice late.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mujadara safra hot with a drizzle of olive oil, plus radishes, pickles, and lemony arugula if desired.
