Introduction

I'm including this because it's one of my regular 'building blocks.' I divvy it up into 1C units and freeze for quick meal making at work. I'm including this because it's one of my regular 'building blocks.' I divvy it up into 1C units and freeze for quick meal making at work.

Ingredients

    2C quinoa
    2.5C lentils (the usual small package size)
    2T fresh ground black pepper.

Directions

Toss quinoa and into a pot or rice-cooker, along with 2x water (9C).
Rice cooker: set to brown rice and step away. Stovetop: Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, then keep that up for about 50 minutes.

Be aware that making these together results in a sticky, pasty lentil. I actually _want_ that, because it creates a less crumbly base for curries or whatever else I'm eating.

Add ground black pepper just before eating.

Makes 9-1C servings.
