  1. This is a recipe I grew up with (I'm the son of the submitter), and I've tried this recipe out on my wife and children, and they all love it! I however substitute jasmine rice (white) for the brown rice in the recipe. To account for this, I lower the oven temperature to 250? and check on it every so often, it seems to take about 1.5 hours to cook the rice and the lentils. I cook in a cast-iron dutch oven, which means it can keep warm in the oven for several additional hours as long as you turn the oven off!
     
  2. This was so good, even my toddler loved them & she is a picky eater. It had the flavor of a bean burrito, very tasty!! Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the mother of 6 (only 5 of whom I birthed), and the grandmother of 10. Since my children were born in ’70, ’73, ’80, ’85, and ’90, I have always had kids in different stages of life; so my life has never been boring. I homeschooled the youngest 3 for 15 years(which I really really enjoyed), but my youngest daughter is now going to the University of Hawaii. The next oldest daughter is a theater manager and English teacher in Seattle. Our 4 sons are are all merried, living in West Virginia, Nevada, and Oregan and are the parents of all our grandchildren .I did the Cub Scout leader a long time ago; then the Girl Scout leader and like that a lot better. I also love to garden and to cook. I started cooking in grade school, was fixing dinner every night as my “family chore” by the time I was in junior high, and have been enjoying it ever since. I think when you enjoy cooking, it is contagious. My married sons both share some of the cooking with their wives; my college daughter has enjoyed putting on Sunday Suppers in her dorm. Reading is also a favorite pastime, but my “reading” is done via books on tape since I am legally blind. I love Zarr because it allows me access to so many recipes, as well as the benefit of others’ experiences (thanks to modern technology and a specialty computer software program designed for the blind and visually impaired. My husband (DH is an understated term) and I are involved in our church choir together, enjoy traveling, visiting friends around the country, and taking our grandchildren and Girl Scouts camping.
