Ingredients

  • 3 large onions, sliced to thick 1/2 inch rounds
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups lentils, washed and drained
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • Seasonings mix
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the seasoning ingredients together.(salt, cinnamon,black pepper, paprika, all-spice,cumin)Set aside.
  2. In a heavy pot, fry the onions on med-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. (Do not skip this step, it adds greatly to the flavor, you can however, cut out some of the olive oil, but I wouldn't cut out more than half.).
  3. Remove onions with a slotted spoon, and set them aside, leaving the oil in the pot.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add the garlic and seasoning mixture. Stir for 2 minutes. Do not burn the garlic.
  5. Add the water and bring it to a boil, then add the lentils, stir gently and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from the heat let sit for five minutes,remove the lid and stir in the onions.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
