Ingrediente

• 1/2 cana orez
• 1 cana linte
• 2 cepe mari
• 2 catei usturoi
• zeama de la 1/2 lamaie

Metoda

• se pun la fiert 4 cani apa cu sare si piper
• se adauga lintea
• intre timp se spala foarte bine orezul
• se lasa sa dea un clocot pentru ca lintea fierbe mai greu decat orezul
• se adauga orezul si se mesteca din timp in timp adaugand apa daca mai e nevoie
• intre timp se taie cepele si se calesc in ulei de masline impreuna cu cateii de usturoi
• se mesteca alternativ ceapa si orezul cu lintea. Atentie, se arde/lipeste foarte usor.
• cand e gata lintea si orezul si a scazut apa (ar trebui sa se intample in acelasi timp) se adauga ceapa calita si se mesteca bine impreuna cu zeama de lamaie
• se serveste calda
• pofta buna.

Note: unlike I was expecting the rice is softer at the end than the lentils so if this bothers you you should precook them for 3-4 minutes before.
