    No, but I think the name is Mujadra. That may help in searching for a recipe.

    I think this may be similar to what you are looking for. I am sure that replacing the brown lentils with green would be "do-able".

    Rice Mejadra

    Ingredients

    1/2 cup rice.

    1 cup brown lentils

    1 or more onions (sliced)

    olive oil

    garlic

    lemon

    Process

    Wash lentils. Preferably soak over night. Put in pot, cover with water. Cover the pot and simmer 1/2- 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Add rice and add water as needed. Brown the sliced onion in olive oil, put in pot. crush one clove of garlic and add as well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer until lentils are rice is done and lentils are soft (about 20 minutes) adding water sparingly as needed. When done, the Mejadra should be thick and hold shape fairly well. Place on dinner plates and squeeze lemon juice on before eating.
