Ingredients

    a few tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
    1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh turmeric, or 1 teaspoon dried
    2 teaspoons curry powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    2 teaspoons sea salt
    4 carrots, chopped
    1 1/2 cups french lentils
    1 cup long grain brown rice
    5 cups water
    1 can lite coconut milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Saute onion in olive oil until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add ginger, turmeric (I used the dried kind), spices, and salt. Continue to saute for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Place onion-spice mixture into a large casserole dish. Add carrots, lentils, rice, water, and coconut milk. Mix together well. Cover and bake for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, turn oven temp up to 425 degrees F. Remove cover and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes to let excess liquid cook off. Stir and serve!
