Great side dish that doesn't heat up the kitchen. I start this before I get the rest of supper ready, and often have a few minutes to rest before I call the kids in. Ingredients:
1 (540 g) can lentils |
1/2 cup brown rice |
1 (540 g) can crushed tomatoes |
2 cups stock |
1 1/2 teaspoons basil |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 cup cheese (any kind) |
Directions:
1. Combine (drained) lentils, rice, tomatoes, stock, basil, cinnamon and sugar in microwave-safe casserole dish.
2. Cover and microwave on HIGH (100%) 8-10 minutes. Continue cooking on MED (50%) 40-45 minutes until rice is tender and fluffy.
3. Let stand covered for 5 minutes, sprinkle with your choice of cheese.
