Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown lentils
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 onions large, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the lentils and rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes.

  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the dried apricots and raisins and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
  • Add the cooked lentils, cooked rice, and caramelized onions to the skillet with the dried fruits. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
