Step 1

In a pan, heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they turn dark caramel brown, stirring often. This will take about 15 minutes. Remove half of the onions to a bowl (these are for garnish later). Sprinkle in the ground cumin and cook about 1 minute more.

Step 2

Add the cooked rice to the onions and stir often for 3 minutes. Stir in the lentils and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 3

Serve the rice and lentils with the reserved caramelized onions on top.
