190g (1 cup) green lentils
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
170g (1 cup) cooked rice
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp Italian herbs
A pinch of salt, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Lentils: Rinse the green lentils under cold water. In a medium pot, bring the lentils to a boil in double their volume of water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain any excess water.
SautΓ© the Vegetables: While the lentils are cooking, heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrot, sautΓ©ing until they begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic, ground coriander, and Italian herbs, cooking until aromatic, about a minute.
Combine: Add the cooked and drained lentils to the skillet with the sautΓ©ed vegetables. Stir in the cooked rice, season with salt, and mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Serve: Enjoy this hearty lentil and rice dish warm. It pairs wonderfully with fresh greens or roasted vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
