Ингредиенты
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced into rings
- 1 1/3 cups uncooked green lentils (or brown lentils)
- 3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white or brown rice (I use basmati)
- 1 tsp garam masala (optional)
- 2 1/2 tsp cumin (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (optional)
Инструкции
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook about 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Place lentils in a medium saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 15 minutes.
- Add the rice and enough water to cover into the saucepan with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper. Cover saucepan, and continue to simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until rice and lentils are tender.
- Mix half the onions into the lentil mixture. Top with yogurt or sour cream and remaining onions to serve.

Easy to make, tasty, healthy and fulfilling side dishes are hard to come by. This dish meets all those criteria. I could have it twice a month, easy. Goes great with any grilled fish or meat, or part of a vegetarian meal with salad and humus for example. Enjoy!1 replyЭтот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!1 person likes this review

Hi Nancy, love the recipe, I would serve leftovers of this topped with an over easy egg, for a protein packed, filling and delicious breakfast or brunch meal, or after a good grind at the gym! Thanks for Sharing!Содержит вариацию

- 17 мая 2010Hello Nancy,
I saved this in my recipe box and I love vegetarian dishes, especially Middle Eastern ones like this one.
Polly Motzko - 08 марта 2010I prepare the yogurt with crushed garlic, cut very small the cucumber and mix all. Once that is mixed I add dried mint to the yogurt. mmmmmmmmmm I serve it over the very almost burned onions and the lentels and rice.
- 08 марта 2010This is my favorite, It's a Lebanese dish that we make in the summer because it's served at room temperature and goes great with a simple Lebanese salad you can find those recipes on my blog http://freshlevant.blogspot.com/2009/05/lentil-and-onion-p09orridge.html
