Lentils & rice

[wrenb]

It's all kitniyot all week here at Chez Bernat. That's right. Rice, rice baby. Because I already cleaned the kitchen for Passover. Ahem. The management apologize for the insanity.

So tonight, having spent all afternoon in bed (ugh, I have the dreaded lurgy again!) I made a fast dinner. Got it from another blog, so I need to write it down here for future reference.

Lentils & Rice (serves 2)

1 cup of brown rice
1/2 cup of lentils
a little salt
3 cups water
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Bring it all to a boil, turn the heat to low, and simmer (covered) for 30 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar and some pepper. The original cook also suggested grated Parmesan cheese, but I forgot and it tasted pretty good.

We had it with greens from this weekend's farmer's market. A good dinner and really easy to make, which was a big plus today!

This sounds delicious! You and my wife morganlf would probably get along, culinary-wise. I read the recipe to my wife and she got excited---she's been on a brown rice kick recently!

Pleased to meet you! Last night's dinner was delicious and made just enough for 2. So I've got another pot of it cooking right now for lunches.
