Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions

A very satisfying vegetarian main course. As the title suggests, it's primarily lentils and rice, spiced with cumin, cooked in stock. It is quite similar in flavour to Lentil and Rice Casserole from The Good Friends Cookbook. It has a dark, savoury flavour I find very appealing, especially on a cold fall evening.

I cooked it just as written in the recipe. The sole suggestion I'd make is to give extra time. I find lentils usually take longer than recipe authors suggest (perhaps lentils around here are tougher than usual...), so I gave this an extra 15 or 20 minutes at the end.

Oh, and the caramelized onions are a great topping - don't leave them out.
