Ingredients

2 cups brown lentils
2 cups rice (soaked)
12 teaspoon salt
12 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
14 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced (optional)
onion, fry only 2 at a time in pan (as many as desired) (optional)

Directions

1

Pout the Lentils into a flat pan so that you can sift the stones and/or barley from it.
2

Put the lentils in a pot and let it boil for about 5 minutes or until soft.
3

Drain all the water using a strainer.
4

Put the Lentils back into the pot without the water.
5

Take the 2 cups of soaked rice and put it over the lentils (after you drain the rice, of course).
6

add the salt, pepper, and cumin and mix it all together.
7

add 2 cloves of sliced garlic and the 1/4 cup olive oil (from the onions you will fry) on top of the mix.
8

add water to about 1/2 inch above the level of the mixture and let it simmer.
9

ONIONS: cut the onions length wise and fry them in the 1/4 cup olive oil.
10

Put the onions on the side to be used as a garnish when serving the meal.
11

Remember, the olive oil you used for the onions will be the 1/4 cup you used in making the lentils.
12

This will give it an added flavor as opposed to taking the oil straight from the bottle.

enjoy.
