Lentils & Rice

Lentils are so yummy and full of fiber too!
This makes a good side dish for any meal.
~
1/2 cup lentils
1/2 cup white long grain rice
2 1/3 cups water
2 Chicken Bullion Cubes
1 heaping tsp chopped garlic
I combine all ingredients in my rice cooker. Or you can just cook them over the stove top, by bringing them to a boil and then simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Very simple but my husband and kids love it!

If you want to cook the lentils with brown rice, then add them in after the rice is half way cooked. Brown rice takes longer to cook and you don't want mushy lentils.
