Lentils Rice Recipes

Low fat, good carbs, protien, affordable. Use vegetable broth for vegans, good meat substitute for tacos and burritos, or add more broth for a comforting satisfying soup.

This is an easy, fantastic and flavorful way to enjoy the benefits of protein, complex carbohydrates, and potassium packed lentils and brown rice.

A tasty non-meat way to get some extra protein in your diet.

This is delicious and a great way to get in some fiber! You can eat it as-is or use it as a taco filling instead of beef.

This can also be done in the crockpot. Combine everything and cook on low for about 6 hours.

Considered Egyptian "fast food", this is a fantastic recipe! Not like American fast food! It's different, for certain, but very filling and completely "clean" if you can get fresh tomato sauce!

This can be a vegetarian dish because traditional Koshari has NO CHICKEN in it. I added it in this recipe (and listed as optional) because I wanted added protein (and my husband refuses to eat a dish without meat!).

The "optional" ingredients truly are optional, however, they are included in the nutritional value.

The leftover lentils/macaroni/rice make for an amazing breakfast the next day with some egg whites!

Lentils and rice with sauteed onion... a mediteranean favourite!

This is how my mom used to make it. Grandparents were from Lebanon and she learned from them. This is simply heavenly.

I came up with this playing around with leftovers from the Sparkpeople recipe "Curried Red Lentils with Brown Rice". What a great and easy dinner!

super fast vegetarian cooked lentils with rice

A delicious casserole made easier by planning to cook extra rice and lentils earlier in the week. Great anytime of day and delicious room temperature or warm. Originally published on my blog, Lydia's Flexitarian Kitchen

A very easy recipe that tastes great. you have to cook rice and lentils separately and then fry them in lots of butter and onions.

I doubled the spices (without changing the salt), added mushrooms, and used sharp cheddar cheese in this makeover. This is a very tasty way to get protein and fiber!

Great slightly spicy one pot dinner.

Hearty vegetarian dish

I didn't like brown rice and despised lentils. This recipe changed that. I do enjoy a good curry!

A recipe from my mother-in-law who lives in Bethlehem; best served with Jerusalem salad

Tasty as side dish or veggie main course

Rich & satisfying crock pot creation

A tasty, aromatic dish. Makes a good main dish, quite filling. Substitute brown rice if desired.

I tried the Herb Lentils and Rice recipe and it was awesome but didn't like having to baby-sit it in the oven and have to take it out to stir. I love to set it and forget it with my 14 cup large rice cooker.

Side: Brown rice - lentils - red bean

I created this recipe to use to add to mixed greens and other raw vegetables for a dinner salad plate. This will substitute the protein and grain usually added in a dinner salad
