 Savory Rice with Lentils
 
 
1/2 cup   lentils  
2 1/2 cups   water  
4 cups   Onions, halved and finely sliced  
3/4 tsp   plus 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste  
1 cup   Vegetable oil  
1/2 cup   Rice, long grain, rinsed well  
 
Bring the lentils to a boil with the water, ¼ cup onion, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid, adding water if necessary.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the remainder of the onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring as needed, until golden (about 25 minutes). Remove and drain the onions, but reserve the oil in the pan. Add the rice. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until it makes a crackling sound. Drain.
Put the cooked rice, lentils, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and reserved liquid in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes without removing the lid.
A minute or two before it's finished, stir in the fried onions, reserving some, if desired, to strew over the top.
