jodi m,

Here is the recipe I have for lentils and rice.


1 cup of lentils

3/4 cup of rice (long grain)

1/2 cup of olive oil

2 large onions (slivered)

4 cups of water

2 tsps salt (to taste)

Clean and sort lentils, rinse, and drain. Rinse rice. In 3 quart sauce pan heat oil, add onions, saute until brown. Remove some onions for garnish. Add lentils and rice to oil, add watrer and salt, stirring well. Cover and bring to a boil, stir and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice and lentils are tender. Let set uncovered in pot about ten minutes before serving. Serve on a large platter. Garnish with some fried onions and serve with a grren salad.

VARIATION: Lentils with wheat-follow above recipe using wheat instead of rice.

Makes app. 4 servings.

I take the onions set aside for garnish and blacken them in a seperate frying pan. I then sprinkle them on top of the each individual serving.
