                    I found this at a vegetarian Middle eastern recipe site & it was different enough to submit for my own NA*ME cookbook. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 cup lentils, rinsed  |  
                                                7 cups water  |  
                                                1 tablespoon olive oil  |  
                                                2 medium onions, chopped  |  
                                                4 garlic cloves, crushed  |  
                                                2 cups stewed tomatoes  |  
                                                2 teaspoons salt  |  
                                                1 teaspoon cumin  |  
                                                1 teaspoon ground coriander  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon cayenne  |  
                                                1/4 cup white rice, uncooked  |  
                                                1/4 cup lemon juice  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Place lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes. 2. In the meantime, in a frying pan, heat oil and sauté onions and garlic until they turn golden brown. Stir in remaining ingredients, except lemon juice, and sauté for another 5 minutes. 3. Stir the frying pan contents into the lentils and bring to boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until rice and lentils are well-cooked. Stir in lemon juice and serve hot.                              |
