This dish is a colorful and delicious combo that when cooked in vegetable broth, is a vegetarian dish. It can be served as a meal or a side. This is my mom's recipe I found buried in a drawer today.

How to Make Rice, Lentils and Beans Casserole
- Combine both wild and brown rice (pre-rinsed) and 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer until water absorbed (follow the directions on your package of brown rice essentially) Since using broth, skip adding more salt.
- Saute onion, garlic, and sliced mushrooms in a couple tbsps of olive oil. Add turmeric and cumin and a few dashes of black pepper to the mixture. Set aside.
- When rice is complete,transfer to a larger serving dish with a cover. Add the onion/garlic/mushrooms mixture, including the olive oil. Add the cans of diced tomatoes, lentils, and kidney beans. Toss while adding salt to taste. Cover and let rest. Serve with a tbsp of chopped cilantro or fresh Italian parsley before you individually serve. Optionally, serve with a small dollop of sour creme with each individual serving.
