Ingredients:
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 cup rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
1. Start by rinsing your lentils and rice separately under cold water until the water runs clear.

5. Once the lentils are tender, drain any excess water and gently fold in the rice. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. To serve, dish out the lentils and rice, and generously top with your delicious caramelized onions.
