• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup rice
• 2 cups dry lentils
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 6 cups water

Method

Cook the onion and garlic over a slow heat in a covered pot until wilted.

Add the rice, lentils, and spices and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Add the tomatoes and sauté 1-2 minutes before adding water.

Bring to a boil and turn heat down to maintain a simmer for approximately 30 minutes until beans are tender and rice is cooked.

Cool slightly and puree in batches in a blender.
