Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup French lentils, raw
  • 1 cup brown rice, raw
  • 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
  • 3 1/2 cup chicken broth, low-sodium
  • 3 tablespoon parsley, fresh
  • 3 tablespoon green onion

Instruction

  • Rinse rice (we prefer long grain brown rice) and lentils thoroughly in three changes of water. Drain well.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the drained rice and lentils and toss until well-coated.
  • Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and simmer, covered, undisturbed, for 30-40 minutes, until broth is mostly absorbed and rice and lentils are tender.
  • Remove from heat and let rest 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. (Avoid stirring vigorously, as that creates too  creamy a texture. The rice and lentils are best when the grains are tender, but separate.)
  • Fold in parsley and green onions, and serve.
