Directions

I used my 3 quart soup pot for this recipe...
add picked over and rinsed lentils to boiling water, boil uncovered for 10 min.
Use this time to chop your veggies & set them aside for now.
Pour Lentils into strainer and return empty pan to stove over Low-Med Low heat.
Add oil to pan, now add Onions, Carrots, Celery, & Garlic. Let that cook for just a few minutes, stir it around a few times too.
(I like to dissolve the bouillon into the water now)Add Lentils, Rice, Water, & Bouillon to pan.
Bring to a boil. Stir once, cover, and simmer over Med-Low heat for about 15 minutes(or until tender).
Enjoy!
