Cover the lentils with cold water and let them soak for a few hours. Drain, add them to a pot with the vegetable stock, and simmer for 20 minutes. Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat the cumin in a pan with a little olive oil. After 1 minute, add the onions and sauté for 6 minutes until translucent. Add the bulgur wheat and onion mixture to the lentils. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, then add the remaining spices and let them swell for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a pot for deep-frying. Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings. Fry the onion rings and then serve everything together. You can also find the recipe on my blog: https://vegan-cooking-with-thalija.de/archive/1453
