Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
6 large yellow onions
4 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 cups brown lentils
1 1/4 cups long- grain rice
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
plain yogurt

Directions:

Peel and slice onions vertically.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add onion; cover and cook 15 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally.
Uncover and increase heat to medium; cook 25 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and keep onions warm.
While onion cooks, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan.
Add lentils; return to a boil and reduce heat to keep at a low boil and cook 20 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup caramelized onion, rice, salt, and pepper. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, until lentils and rice are tender.
Spoon lentils and rice into a shallow dish; top with remaining onion.
Drizzle remaining oil over lentils. Serve with yogurt, if desired.
