Warm boot recommendations please

This is a lovely, simple meal - and although it may look bland it is actually very tasty - even my husband who is a complete carnivore enjoys it. Just make sure you have some excellent quality extra virgin olive oil. I use Tesco's green lentils as they are in veg stock, which givens them extra flavour. Use one of the empty tins to measure the rest of the ingredients.

 

 

Moutchentra

 

2 tins lentils (rinsed)

1 1/2 tins chopped raw onion

1 tin brown rice (rinsed well)

2 tins water

1 vegetable stock cube

Olive oil

seasoning to taste

 

Sweat the onion in some olive oil. Add the rice, water and stock cube Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer until cooked (and water absorbed). Add the lentils 15 minutes before the end, bringing back to a simmer.

 

Can be served hot or cold, with or without a splash of good quality olive oil.

 

We often eat it hot for our evening meal and then I take it cold to work the next day.

Yum - I'll give that a try

Claire, that's quite an unusual recipe, I'll give it a go. Do you ever add anything to it like other veggies?

I was going to try it with green salad and a flat bread of some sort.

[redfrock]

depends if it is just a quick supper or not. Normally I just do it with a salad as Lesley says, sometimes we just have it on its own. I dress my salad with olive oil, lemon and mint. I often serve my green vegetables with olive oil and lemon too.

 

Oh guess what we are having for dinner tonight ...

We were going to but we only have the lentils you need to soak - and I forgot
