Lentils and Rice Pilaf

This is the homemade version - no box!  I sauteed 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 2 handfuls of baby carrots in olive oil.  Then I added 1c basmati rice and toasted it.  I had precooked 1c lentils for 20 minutes and added those in along with 2 1/2c water, 1/2tsp thyme, and 1tsp basil.  I brought this to a boil and simmered for 20 minutes.  When there were about 5 minutes left, I added 1c frozen peas.  When I served this to my son, he said "mmmm, this looks wonderful."  He's so funny!
