From PETA's The Compassionate Cook. Simple, cheap and yummy. Can be a side or main with a pile o' veggies. I personally subbed the oil with some oil spray to cut down on fat and calories.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups brown rice, rinsed
3 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup split peas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, taste
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and saute the onion until golden, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic ands rice and stir until coated with oil.
3. Stir in the broth, lemon juice, split peas, cinnamon, cumin, salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover and cook 45-50 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice and peas are tender.
5. Let stand, covered 10 minutes, then serve hot.
