Instructions

Step 1

Boil 2 cups of brown lentil with water for 20 minutes then drain.

Step 2

Soak rice in warm water for the same amount of time then drain.

Step 3

In a medium pot, add 1/3 cup of olive oil on medium heat. Sauté the cubed onions until translucent.

Step 4

Add in the drained lentils and rice, 2 cups water, salt and seven spices, then bring to a boil for 2 whole minutes while gently stirring. Taste the broth, and adjust the salt to your liking. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 5

In a medium skillet add the rest of the oil (3/4 cup) on medium heat. Sauté thinly sliced onions until golden-brown (caramelized). Remove the onions once caramelized and set on a plate that is covered with paper towel so it soaks up the oil.

Step 6

Plate the lentils and rice then garnish with caramelized onions. Enjoy alone, or with fresh veggies and a side of yogurt.
