To a pan add some olive oil followed by the chopped onion (1/3 of it) and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes and add the spices.µ
Add some vegetable broth to prevent burning, then add in salt and pepper.
Add in the soaked rice along with the lentils.

Meanwhile, caramelize the remaining onion in a small pan with some olive oil.
Serve and enjoy! This dish tastes even better the next day.
