Serves 4-8 depending what you serve it with

* 1 cup of whole rice (not white)
* 1 cup of green lentils
* 1 large onion, cut into thin slices or rings
* 1 teaspoon cumin

* (salt to tast)
* optional to cook rice in veg.stock

1. Cook rice (watch that it does not dry from over cooking)

2. Cook lentils with a lot of water until soft to bite (not mushy) and drain.

3. Fry the onions slowly with some of the oil until brown (soak the oil with a kichen towel)

4. In a large pan:
stirfry the rice, lentils in olive oil for 2-3 min.

take off the heat add the parsly and mix.

Serve with the fried onion on top.

I usually add more cumin and pepper when I taste it while cooking, you can allso fry some of the onion whith the rice and lentils.
