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.
Sauté 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, sautéing 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 sautéed 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.
