1 cup green lentils (rinsed well)
1 cup brown rice
1 low sodium vegetable bullion cube
1 cup mixed veggies finely chopped--either spinach, kale, broccoli, parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes bok choy... you get the picture)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
Add all of the above to a medium-sized sauce pan and cover with water, about 1/4 inch over the surface.
Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cover and simmer until lentils and rice are tender (about 3o minutes).
Check back occasionally to make sure the water hasn't all evaporated. If it seems dry, add a little more water.
*The lentils and rice form a complete protein and, with the vegetables, you have an entire meal in one pot.
Enjoy!
Yummy! I'm trying this ASAP.
