2 onions (medium size)
1 c. lentils
1 c. rice
2 c. water (use with rice)
Salt
Black pepper
Allspice

Cut one onion into 1/2 moons and fry well to light brown. Remove and use to garnish. Boil lentils until just cooked. In a separate pan, fry onions (chopped finely) until almost burnt. (It is important to fry onions well so the rice will be brown in color.) Add the strained lentils and toss over the onions. (Do not throw the water in which you boiled the lentils.) Add the rice, salt, pepper and allspice to taste. Add 2 cups of the water used for boiling the lentils. Stir and when it starts to boil, cover, let simmer on low, heat for about 25 minutes. Garnish with onions.
