Onion Lentils And Rice

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I was searching for a recipe that I had all the basic ingredients on hand, when I came across this. I made following the directions, adding the optional fresh garlic suggested in the directions. After it was done and I tasted it, I did add garlic salt and pepper, but I am an admitted garlic junkie, so that may be too much garlic for the average person. Served it with some cooked fresh spinach. Tomorrow I will get some tomatoes and sour cream to try on the leftovers.

    Onion Lentils and Rice, This recipe is adapted from “What to Cook” cookbook. Other than slicing the onions, it doesn’t take a lot of prep time. This is what I make when I come home from work hungry and exhausted and want something yummy and filling for dinner., I was searching for a recipe that I had all the basic ingredients on hand, when I came across this.

Need to soak dry lentils or they stay half uncooked . I didnt follow your recipe I did it my way
