Enjedra - aka rice, lentils and veges

This is a kind of exotic dish, that comes courtesy of http://vegweb.com. It's a simple dish to make, and the onions really make the dish.

Enjedra - aka rice, lentils and veges.

Ingredients:

1 super-large or 2 medium sweet onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
1 cup brown rice
1 cup red lentils
steamed spinach or kale or even a mixture with some red cabbage

Method:

1. The first thing I do is get the brown rice cooking. Add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups water. Bring to boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.

2. Chop onion.

3. Toss into pan with cumin and salt. Saute in olive oil until almost carmelized, about 10-15 minutes.

4. Add 1 cup red lentils and 2 cups water to the onions. Bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until lentils are cooked and very smooshy. When stirred towards the end, they should be smooth.

5. Steam spinach or kale or whatever vegetable you have chosen

6. Serve lentil mixture over rice and top with greens.

Serves: 4-6
