Our mother is constantly asking me to give her this recipe - it is a favorite! Yummy, soul-satisfying, and pure comfort food - this recipe is simple to make.
You Need:
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 tsp. vegetable bouillion and 1 cup water, or 1 cup vegetable broth
olive oil or butter
1/2 cup red lentils
1/4 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove
1 carrot, minced
2 celery stalks, minced
tomato, chopped
Italian seasoning, to taste
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan, optional
Cook rice in bouillion. In a separate pot, simmer lentils until soft. In a pan, liberally covered in butter or olive oil, cook onions over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic, and keep stirring. Add carrots and celery to the mix, and cook over medium heat. Once lentils are finished cooking, add to the rice. Finish cooking the rice, and add vegetables from pan to rice mixture. Simmer to eliminate excess water, about ten minutes (keep stirring!). Once reduced, add tomatoes, seasoning, salt and pepper. Just before serving, add parmesan. Enjoy!
