This was yesterday's lunch and for some today's as well. My 2yr old son is hit or miss with lentils, but he scarfed this down! The ingredients are:
1 chopped onion
3 stalks chopped celery
handful chopped baby carrots
1 chopped garlic clove
2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
handful thyme sprigs
1c long grain and wild rice mix
1c lentils
1qt veggie stock
I sauteed the veggies in olive oil for just a couple minutes. Then I added the garlic, rosemary, and rice mix. I sauteed it for a couple minutes so the rice would brown a bit. Then I added the stock and the sprigs of thyme. The leaves will fall off the thyme, so you can just throw the whole thing in and pull out the stalks when its done. You could do this with the rosemary too, but you will end up biting into a big leaf and as good as rosemary is, it's not very tasty when you bite into a whole leaf! I brought everything to a boil and simmered for 10 minutes. Then I added the lentils and simmered for another 40 minutes. I dug out the thyme stalks and it was time to eat!
Sounds delicious, I will have to try it.
