Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 cup green lentils
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 cups water
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking vessel by heating the olive oil over a moderate temperature; sauté and blend the onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Introduce the ginger into the mixture and stir until its aroma is released, for about 1 minute. Combine the brown rice with the olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Then, incorporate the lentils, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon into the rice mixture; immerse it in water. Secure the lid on your pot and cook over a low heat setting until the lentils become tender and the rice has absorbed the water, roughly 45 minutes.
