This simple recipe is a variation on the lentil and bulgur version. It makes a great side dish that's filling and is much more interesting than rice alone.

Ingredients
2 cups cold water
1/2 tsp. salt (adjust to taste)
1 cup rice
2 cups brown lentils
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. cumin
2 tbl. olive oil
1 onion, sliced thin
Directions
- Bring 2 cups salted water to boil, then add rice, lentils, pepper and cumin.
- Lower heat and simmer for 35 minutes until rice is cooked. Add water as required.
- While lentils and rice are simmering, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over onions then roast in oven at 400F until well done (about 25 minutes). Alternately, grill onions on an outdoor grill. Set aside.
- Serve on rice and lentils on a platter drizzled with remaining olive oil. Top with grilled onions.
