Steps

1

After washing the lentils very well, put them in a pot, cover with water and boil them for 15 minutes.
2

While cooking the lentils, start frying the finely chopped onion in olive oil
3

After 15 minutes when the lentils are 80% cooked strain them then put them in the pot again, the rice, the salt, the cumin, and the fried onions. Mix once or twice to combine all the ingredients then cover with water, put the lid on and cook on a low to medium heat for around 15 minutes (until the water evaporates)
4

In the meantime, put olive oil in a frying pan with the onion slices and sprinkle some flour mixed with cumin and a bit of salt and fry until golden brown. Then put the onions on a plate and use some kitchen roll to soak up the oil and make the onions crispy
5

Check the rice and lentils, if they’ve absorbed all the water it means they’re cooked (make sure you don’t burn them though). Remove the lid and leave for 5 minutes before serving
6

Serve with crispy onions on top and enjoy your meal ❤️
