Simple and healthy - the perfect recipe to get you back on track.
Lentil Pilaf
2 green onions, sliced
1 carrot, diced
½ C chopped celery
¼ C chopped green pepper
2 T margarine or butter
10 ¾-oz can condensed chicken broth
2 C water
1 C dried lentils
¼ tsp pepper
½ C rice (raw)
In medium saucepan, sauté onions, carrots, celery and green pepper in butter. Add broth and water; bring to a boil. Stir in lentils and pepper. Cover; simmer 25 minutes. Add rice; stir well. Cover and simmer an additional 20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
(I skip the green pepper cuz I don't like it, and am as likely to use regular onion as the green onion. )
I like to drizzle with some EVOO at the table. Actually, lots of EVOO.
