Not lovely to look at, but lovely to eat. What you get is sort of a lightly spiced lentil and al dente rice mush, which is nevertheless quite tasty. Made this up based on what I had on hand (which was not much), so feel free to add or modify. It would probably be nice wrapped in a tortilla for a bag lunch. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 large onion, diced |
1/2 green pepper, diced |
1/2 cup brown rice, uncooked |
1/2 cup lentils, uncooked |
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin |
1/2 teaspoon coriander |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste) |
2 cups vegetable broth |
Directions:
1. Saute onion with oil in medium saucepan until onion is translucent.
2. Add green pepper; saute for 3 minutes.
3. Add rice; saute 2 more minutes.
4. Add lentils, spices, hot sauce, and veggie broth. Cover and bring to boil; simmer 35-40 minutes, or until water is mostly absorbed.
