Ingredients

Instructions

  • First cook the onions. In a non-stick skillet add a bit of olive oil and the sliced onions. Cook them on medium-low heat until they break down and caramelize and turn golden brown. This could take up to a good 25 minutes.
  • Next, rinse the rice lentils and chickpeas well until water runs clear.
  • Next add rice, lentils, broth, dried lemons (or lemon rind) and spices and cook in rice cooker until most of the water is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes).
  • Then, add the cooked chickpeas and stir together. Top rice cooker with towel and then place lid on top so the extra moisture is absorbed.
  • Once rice cooker turns off, fluff everything together, serving with caramelized onions on top and chopped fresh parsley.
