2 large onions, sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
7 1/2 cups chicken stock (made with 2 bouillon cubes)
1 cup red lentils
1/2 cup short-grain or risotto rice
Black pepper
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 lemons

1
Fry the onions in the oil.

Cover the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they soften.

Then cook over high heat, stirring often, until they are very brown and caramelized.
4
Drain on paper towels and keep them aside.
5
Bring the stock to the boil then put in the lentils and rice.

Add the black pepper and the ground coriander, and simmer for about 35 to 45 minutes, until the lentils and rice fall apart and the soup has a creamy texture.
