How To Make lentils with rice
-
Step 1Lentils: Rinse the lentils and drain and repeat. Place the lentils is a bowl and fill with water to just cover the lentils. Heat a saucepan with the olive oil. Add the garlic, carrots and creamed spinach. Sauté on low until the creamed spinach is thawed. Add the soaked lentils and the tomato puree. Add the seasonings and the water as needed to make sure lentils are barely covered. Gently cook until the lentils are soft. Approximately 30 - 35 minutes. For the Rice: Prepare the rice as directed adding the turmeric to the water. Topping for the Lentils: Heat a small frying pan with the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic and parsley, along with the seasonings to sauté until the onion is soft and the garlic fragrant. For the eggs: Heat a small frying pan with olive oil and pour the egg mixture into the pan; when the eggs are set gently flip. Plate the rice topped with the lentils and the onion mixture and the eggs. Add a drizzle of olive oil and serve.
