About
Lentils + Rice With Crispy Onions And Sage
Lentils and rice go together perfectly in my eyes. I could honestly eat lentils daily, but I don’t think that would fly with my family. This simple recipe is vegetarian and vegan friendly that we all love. Although it can work well as a side dish to almost anything, it is also fabulous on its own, which is exactly how I like it. Served hot or cold, this is one of my favorite dishes anytime of year.

Drain the onions on the prepared plate. Repeat this process with the remaining onions till they are all fried. Lightly salt the onions reserve.
