Brown Rice with Lentils and Caramelized Onions

Step 1

In a pot, combine the rice, quinoa, broth, 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high heat, brown the onions in the remaining oil, stirring very frequently, until nicely golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

Stir the lentils into the rice mixture. Transfer to a large serving dish. Top with the caramelized onions and yogurt. Sprinkle with the cumin and cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges.
