This is a great dish when you need a filling sidedish or want to take a big bowl of something delicious to a potluck! It really is a crowd pleaser.

A few suggestions---try using bulgar instead of rice. For more flavor, carmelize your onions. This will take longer but it make a world of difference.

carmelizing the onions is key for this recipe. it takes some time but is easy in a cast iron pan/pot because you can let it sit and stir it every once in a while if its on low low heat. DR really liked this and was surprised at how good it was. i made the rice with only 1 c and put the rice/lentils in my rice cooker. it was fast and easy. well, the onions took a while but other than that it was easy.  Smiley
