Whole Rice and Lentils (Majadara) image

One of my 'Israeli' recipes that I've adapted for whole rice (that in my opinion needs more seasoning). Good as a whole meal or as a side dish. Freezes fairly well, too.

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
1 cup brown rice
1 cup green lentils
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ginger and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add brown rice and stir to coat rice with oil.
