Bob Beshara's mother has the easiest, most delicious lentil recipe you ever tasted. With his permission, I am sharing the recipe and know that you will enjoy it again and again. Bob's Mother's Lentil Recipe 1/2 package of lentils 1/3 cup rice one small onion or 1/2 large one 2 cups water oil (I use vegetable oil) Wash lentils and drain; Add water to lentils. Bring to boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Cut up the onion into small pieces, add the oil and onion in a small fry pan and fry until brown. Wash rice and pour over lentils. Add the onion and oil to the lentil pan. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water and about a teaspoon of salt and bring to boil. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring two or three times. Don't let the water dry up while you are cooking. When the rice is cooked, you know it is done. Enjoy! June 1, 2012
