I got this recipe from the back of a package of lentils.
It’s
easy, cheap, and good.
I often substitute 1/2 can diced canned
tomatoes for the fresh tomatoes.
I usually serve with cornbread and
coleslaw.

1 cup lentils
2 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup rice (basmati is very good)
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste

Prepare lentils: Rinse and sort lentils.
Cook lentils in water
for 20 minutes.
Drain.

Prepare rice: Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until
onion is translucent.
Add rice and saute until rice is translucent,
stirring frequently.

Prepare final dish: To the rice mixture, add lentils, tomatoes,
and broth.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and partially cover.
Cook
for an additional 30 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Yield: 6 cups
