Method

  1. 01

    Start cooking

    In a pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the chopped onion until well browned, about 5 minutes. Add the brown lentils, brown rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover.

    5 min
  2. 02

    Brown the onions

    While the lentils and rice cook, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet. Add the sliced onions and cook them first over medium-high heat; then lower the heat and continue until they are well browned, about 15 minutes in total. Stir in the ground cumin and whole cumin seeds.

  3. 03

    Finish and serve

    Keep the pot covered over low heat for 30–40 minutes, until the rice and lentils are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If needed, continue cooking over low heat until they reach that point. Serve with the browned onions on top.
