Fakes Moutzentra

INGREDIENTS 

• 2 cups brown lentils
• 2 cups water
• 1/3 cup short grained rice (Carolina)
• 1/2 vegetable bouillon (optional)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Clean the lentils as sometimes small stones may be found in the package and then wash and drain them.
2. Boil in a pot with enough water to cover them, for ten minutes.
3. Drain them, add fresh water (just to cover them, about 2 cups), and vegetable bouillon and bring to a boil again.  Lower heat and cook for 15 minutes or until soft.
4. Add the rice, salt and pepper, lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, mixing every now and then.
5. Meantime, in a non-stick frying pan heat the olive oil and sauté the onions until they caramelize and start to turn to brown. When the rice is cooked, add the caramelized onions with the oil, stir and remove from the heat.
6. Allow to cool for ten minutes and serve while warm.

Enjoy !!
