- Dice onion very small, add tablespoon of oil in the pot. Once oil is hot add onions on low heat and brown them very well; they need to look as though they are burnt but aren’t. (I hope that makes sense).. once cooked transfer to cool plate/bowl so they don’t cook anymore and set aside.
- Wash lentils in cold water and add to pot. Add boiled water from kettle and simmer for 10-15mins with lid on.
- Once lentils have been cooking for 10-15mins wash rice in cold water then add to pot. Add remaining water and onions. Salt to taste. I like my food on the salty side for this and it just brings out the onions in it. After rice and lentils are cooked through serve with a simple tomato salad. Enjoy 😉
