Quick, one-pot, stove-top recipe. High in fibre, vitamins A and B. If you want to cut out the oil, saute the onion and garlic in a bit of water in the microwave. Also, for extra fibre, don't peel your carrots - just wash them well!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
2 onions
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 carrots
1 cup brown rice
2 1/2 cups stock
1 (545 g) can lentils
2 apples
4 green onions
2 cups plain yogurt (optional)
Directions:
1. Cut up onions, carrots, apples and green onions. Mince garlic.
2. In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in oil for 3 minutes.
3. Add cumin, curry, cinnamon and salt. Let cook another 2 minutes.
4. Stir in carrots and rice. Stir for 1 minute, then carefully pour in stock. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed by the rice.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in lentils, apples and green onions.
6. Garnish with plain yogurt, if desired.
