  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook about 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Place lentils in a medium saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 15 minutes.
  3. Add the rice and enough water to cover into the saucepan with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper. Cover saucepan, and continue to simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until rice and lentils are tender.
  4. Mix half the onions into the lentil mixture. Top with yogurt or sour cream and remaining onions to serve.

    Easy to make, tasty, healthy and fulfilling side dishes are hard to come by. This dish meets all those criteria. I could have it twice a month, easy. Goes great with any grilled fish or meat, or part of a vegetarian meal with salad and humus for example. Enjoy!

            We're trying to eat a wider variety of foods, and this was perfect for testing! We enjoyed it just as written and will make it a regular.

                    Hi Nancy, love the recipe, I would serve leftovers of this topped with an over easy egg, for a protein packed, filling and delicious breakfast or brunch meal, or after a good grind at the gym! Thanks for Sharing!

                        Hello Nancy,
                        I saved this in my recipe box and I love vegetarian dishes, especially Middle Eastern ones like this one.

                          I prepare the yogurt with crushed garlic, cut very small the cucumber and mix all. Once that is mixed I add dried mint to the yogurt. mmmmmmmmmm I serve it over the very almost burned onions and the lentels and rice.

                            This is my favorite, It's a Lebanese dish that we make in the summer because it's served at room temperature and goes great with a simple Lebanese salad you can find those recipes on my blog http://freshlevant.blogspot.com/2009/05/lentil-and-onion-p09orridge.html

                              This looks great, I've been looking for a new way to make lentils.
