- Rinse lentils several times. Set aside to drain.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and toss to coat, then saute until soft. Add garlic and saute two more minutes.
- Add broth, lentils, rice, turmeric, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on low for an hour or more, until the lentils and rice are tender.
- Add finely chopped basil, chopped green onions and pomegranate juice. Simmer 15 more minutes.
