Method
- 1
Fry the onions in the oil over medium heat, stirring now and then, until they are dark brown and crisp at the edges. This takes longer than it seems it should.
- 2
Lift two thirds of the onions out onto paper and leave the rest in the pot with a little of the oil.
- 3
Add the lentils and water and simmer until the lentils are almost tender but still whole.
- 4
Stir in the rice, cumin, pepper and salt, cover and cook on the lowest heat until the water is gone.
- 5
Let it stand off the heat for ten minutes before you lift the lid.
- 6
Fork it through and pile the reserved onions on top with a thread of olive oil.
