Once they are translucent, season with all the spices and simmer on low heat for about 8 minutes.
When the onions are ready, add them to the rice, mix and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
Notes
I personally cooked the rice and lentils on the spot, but you can also use leftover rice and lentils vacuum packed or canned. It's a little less healthy, but we're not here to judge...
