Recipe - Mujadarah (Rice And Lentils)

1 cup Lentils
1/3 cup Rice
2 Onion
3 cup Water
2 teaspoon Mom's Allspice Plus
1 teaspoon Cumin
One fourth cup Oil
Salt and pepper

Quarter and slice onions, and fry in oil until dark brown. Meanwhile,
combine lentils, spices, water, and bring to a boil. Add onions and rice,
and cook until rice is tender (maybe 30 minutes)

A variation on this is to substitute egg noodles for the rice, and toss in
some frozen chopped spinach. This makes for more of a "soup", while the
other is meant as a side dish.

mom's allspice pluse: 1 ounce allspice 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons
cardamom 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
