Curried Rice and Lentils | Dinner

With no added fat, this is a very simple one-pot side dish starter

recipe. Personalize it with some chopped greens, browned seitan, or a

veggie mix.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups uncooked white or brown rice

1 cup lentils

2 tomatoes, diced

3 1/2 cups water or Vegetable Broth

1 bay leaf (optional)

1 tablespoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except salt and pepper in a large soup pot or

stockpot. Bring to a slow simmer, then cover, and cook for 20 minutes,

stirring occasionally, until rice is done and liquid is absorbed.

2. Taste, then add a bit of salt and pepper if needed. If used, remove bay

leaf before serving.
