    I make this all the time. For one year when I was really poor it's the only thing I ate because it's so cheap and easy to make and at the same time very nutritious. And I still like it! So this says a lot.
    The recipe I stole from a website, as I'm not so good at writing recipes.

    Mujaddara
    serves 5-6

    1 1/2 c green or brown lentils
    1 c long grain brown rice
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp sea salt
    1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    2 1/2 c water
    1/4 c olive oil
    2 1/2 c roughly chopped onion


    Combine lentils, rice, cumin, salt, pepper, and water.
    Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until rice and lentils are cooked.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions.
    Cook onions about 15 minutes or until golden and tender, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off.
    Stir the onions into the lentil and rice mixture.

    Since finding this thread last night I have been hungry for lentils. Never having made anything except a batch of soup from them for the first time back a couple of weeks, I decided to experiment a bit with what I had on hand. I cooked up some brown lentils. After they were cooked I added some fire roasted tomatoes (Hunts brand, with out the juice) tossed in some red pepper flakes and some sea salt. Let that warm up gently. Put it in a bowl with some guacamole on the side. The pepper flakes spiced it up and the coolness of the guacamole was nice with it.
