The Arborio rice is superb in this dish. For the lentils, I only had miniature green lentils and they worked well in this recipe. The topping of fresh cilantro mixed with vinegar worked well to cut the grease from the onions. However, 1/4 cup of olive oil was excessive to fry the onions, and I would use the minimum oil necessary. All the components are essential for an intensely flavored side dish that could stand alone for a vegetarian dish.
