Ingredients:

  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. Saute onions and garlic in butter pretty low so that garlic doesnt get bitter.
  2. Add water and the lentils and rice. Cover and cook for about 1 hour.
  3. It is good alone but adding more butter before eating makes it extra creamy!
  4. Dont forget to remove the bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste (you dont have to go by the measurements on those!).
