Rice & Lentils with Caramelized Onions

• 3/4 cup brown or green lentils
• 3/4 cup brown rice
• 4 cups water or vegetable broth
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 any kind of onion, sliced
• salt and peppa mothafuckahhh

Rinse lentils and brown rice in fine mesh strainer and place in a stock pot.
Add water/broth and spices to pot and stir to mix.
Turn stovetop to medium-high. Once it has come to a boil, turn to low and cover. Let it simmer about 35 minutes, stirring occassionally.
Liquid should be completely absorbed. cover and leave on low 5-10 more minutes if needed.

While thats cooking chop onions. In a non stick pan, add olive oil and onions and stir to coat. Add salt and pepper. Let fry on low, stirring occassionally, until onions are a deep brown but not burnt.

You can add lots of other veggies to this to spice it up! Add zucchini to the onion mix or add spinach at the end. I served mine with roasted cauliflower (tossed in cumin and garlic powder, roast on a pan at 400F for 25min, flipping once), and roasted butternut squash. Also yummy with brocolli or steamed baby carrots.
