Amie's Lentils with Rice


(a middle eastern side dish---we love eating it with fish):

Onions

lentils

Rice (white/ basmati or brown)

cumin

salt

oil

water

Sautee and brown onions. Add lentils and sautee a bit. Add rice (if using brown rice, cook rice 1st as this takes more time to cook). Cover with water (about 2x the depth of the lentils and rice mixture). Add cumin and salt to taste.

Cook on stove top on medium-low heat, try not to mix too often or it will get mushy.

Topping: plain yogurt
