About Lentils with rice and onion

Lentils with Rice and Onion is a comforting, nutrient-packed dish rooted in cuisines across the Middle East, South Asia, and Mediterranean regions. Combining hearty lentils, fluffy rice, and caramelized onions, this dish delivers a balance of flavors and textures. Lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, while rice provides energy-boosting carbohydrates. The onions, often sautéed in olive oil, bring sweetness and depth to the dish. This combination makes it both satisfying and highly nutritious. However, the healthiness of the dish can vary based on preparation – using minimal oil and opting for whole-grain rice boosts its nutritional profile. Versatile and naturally vegan, this dish is perfect as a main course or side, offering a wholesome, protein-rich meal for those looking to incorporate more plant-based options into their diet.
