  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 50 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 thinly sliced onions
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 1/2 cups brown lentils
    • 1 cup long-grain rice
    • 3 cups reduced-sodium canned vegetable broth

Directions

  1. In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden and caramelized, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan, bring 5 cups water to a boil. Stir in brown lentils; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; rinse pan.
  3. Return lentils to pan; add long-grain rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender and has absorbed liquid, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter onions on pilaf.
