Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat, cook and stir onion and garlic until onion has softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ginger and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add brown rice and stir to coat rice with oil.
Stir lentils, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon into rice mixture, cover with water. Place lid on pot and simmer over low heat until lentils are tender and rice has absorbed the water, about 45 minutes.
