You know, I eat well. All the delicious variations and types of food that I serve up on this blog shows what goes on in our house. Well, some nights, after dinner I am still hungry. I wait the obligatory 20 to 30 minutes to let my stomach tell me I am full and sometimes it actually does not happen. Well, I have never found this problem with Stick to Your Ribs Lentils and Rice. Besides the recipe being easy to make it is also full of a variety of vegetables that everyone loves. Let’s get going!

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Yield: 4 cups

Serving Size: 1-1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon coconut oil to coat a 8" x 10" casserole

1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil to saute the onion

1 onion, chopped

3 cups Vegetable Broth

1/2 cup Brown Lentils

1/3 cup Brown Rice

2 carrots, sliced

1 tomato, diced

1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Lightly oil the casserole and set aside.

In a skillet heat the oil to medium high and then turn it down to medium and saute the onion until it is translucent - about 10 minutes.

To the casserole sprinkle in the rice, lentils, carrots, tomato, spices and the sauteed onion.

Heat the 3 cups of vegetable broth to a boil.

Be careful and pour the broth over everything in the casserole dish.

Stir until all is evenly dispersed. The rice and lentils will settle on the bottom.

Cover with the lid or cover tightly with foil. Leaving enough foil to go over the edges, liberally.

Bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes.

Check after an hour and see if the liquid has absorbed and the rice is tender.

It will still be very moist.
