INSTRUCTIONS
Bring the lentils to a boil in the water and simmer, skimming, about
25 minutes, or until nearly tender. Drain the lentils, reserving 1 1/2
cups of cooking liquid. Add more liquid if necessary to make 1 1/2
cups. Cook the onions in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Then
remove 1 1/2 cups of the onions and cook the rest until they
caramelize and begin to get crisp, about 57 minutes more. Drain the
caramelized onions on paper towels. Add to the saucepan the cooked
lentils, the reserved liquid, the softened onions, and the basmati
rice, salt and allspice. Cook over low heat, covered, until rice is
tender, about 20 minutes. Top with caramelized onions. Yield: 8
