VEGETARIAN LENTILS AND RICE

 

1 cup dry lentils

4 cups water

 

In a medium saucepan, simmer the lentils for 20 minutes.

 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 onion diced

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup rice (I prefer long-grain brown rice)

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Saute the onion until it is

translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the cumin and the cinnamon. Add the

rice, then pour the lentils into the rice mix along with the water.

Add the salt. Cook according to the rice directions (brown rice, 40

minutes; white rice 20 minutes). Do not cover the mixture.

 

1/2 onion, sliced into rings

1 teaspoon oil

 

While the mixture of lentils and rice is simmering, in a skillet, heat

the oil. Saute the onion for about 5 minutes. Serve the mixture with

the onions on top.
