Lentils With Rice

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

3. 3

   Drain all the water using a strainer.

4. 4

   Put the Lentils back into the pot without the water.

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 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. 8

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

9. 9

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

10. 10

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

11. 11

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

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

    enjoy.
