Steps:
- Place the olive oil into the bottom of the crock pot.
- Turn the pot onto the highest setting and add the onions.
- Allow the onions warm in the oil for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including the water.
- If cooking the dish all day, reduce heat to low, otherwise leave on high setting.
- Cover.
- Stir the dish while in the crock- If it is dry, add a little water- If it's soup-like, remove lid for a little while, or turn heat to high setting.
- It's tasty as a main meal or as a pilaf to accompany other meals- Cook for 8 hours on low or 4-5 on high.
- NOTE: Start with 5 cups water or broth- That way it won't be"mushy" if you make this recipe while you're out for the entire day- You can always add more water or broth, but it's hard to"un-mush" lentils& rice!
- Note for Vegetarian do NOT use chicken broth.

Steps:
- Place the lentils into a pot and cover with the water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat for 5 minutes, then cover and remove from heat. Meanwhile, rinse the rice in cold water until water comes out clear.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the rice for about 1 minute, until the grains turn opaque and white, then stir in the lentils and water. Bring the rice mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low for 5 minutes. Stir once, then cover and reduce heat further to low. Continue cooking, covered (don't remove the lid!) until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. When the rice is ready, stir in the caramelized onion and season with salt.

EGYPTIAN LENTILS RICE AND MACARONI
Although a vegetarian dish, this gets eaten with reckless abandon by carnivores. it sounds way too healthy (and it is) but dang! it is GOOD. try it. give about 45 minutes from start to finish. If you don't have cooked brown rice lying around, start that first and foremost. (This is modified from a recipe from joy of cooking and embellished with touches I figured out from an Egyptian restaurant in Washington DC).

THE PERFECT EGYPTIAN RICE WITH VERMICELLI
Egyptian rice is a very short grain rice, grown in Egypt. It is not cooked the same way as medium or long grain rice. When cooked, it is supposed to have a fluffy texture, not at all sticky.

NUTTY EGYPTIAN-STYLE RICE
This aromatic nutty rice dish makes a great accompaniment to any spiced lamb or chicken dish, or any grilled or BBQd fish or meats. It also goes well with other vegetarian dishes. If you are serving it as part of a vegetarian meal, use vegetable stock. I recommend my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453, which I found only recently and am really excited about, because it's so different from other vegetable stock recipes I have used in the past. I have adapted this recipe from a recipe on an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok recipe card' and I have posted it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Peel and finely slice the onion, and peel and crush the garlic; grate the rind of 1 orange and squeeze the juice and cut the other orange into wedges.
- Melt the butter in a deep pan or wok, preferably non-stick, sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes; then add the cinnamon stick and the rice, cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the rice is thoroughly coated with the butter and mixed in with the onions and garlic.
- Add the orange rind and juice, the bay leaves and sultanas to the rice.
- Stir the turmeric into the stock, then add the stock to the mixture, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and keep hot; covering the bowl with foil will suffice.
- Clean the pan or wok (if you are using a non-stick pan or wok, all you need to do is to wipe it clean with paper toweling), add oil and heat through, then add the nuts and sauté for 1 minute, or until they are lightly toasted.
- Serve the rice garnished with orange wedges, coriander sprigs and pistachios.
- Variation: To add a rich golden colour and delicious aroma to this dish, replace the turmeric with saffron strands soaked in hot water.

KUSHARI - EGYPTIAN RICE LENTILS AND TOMATOES
I saw this dish being made on a travel/food program so the measurements are a bit of a guess. I would say this would be about 6 serves. The tomato sauce is quite vinegary. If you a seasoned cook you could cook the lentils, rice and macaroni all together adding the ingredients at the right time so everything finishes cooking at the same time. I like to add a good sprinkle of chilli oil just before serving.
