This is so good. No added fat with a healthy serving of Protein and Carbohydrates. The taste is just sooo delicious; with spice. You have just got to try this recipe!!! I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. I am not a keen lover of Vagen food, BUT WOW. My son, who is such a difficult person to please if the meal does not have meat served with it, just raved about this dish. Congratulations Tebo, you have a winner here. Your recipe will be a regular on our monthly family menu. By the way, this was so easy to prepare. Assembled in a matter of minutes. A good recipe to use when you walk in the door from work etc.; prepare the Baked Rice and Lentils, pop it in the oven, bathe and relax, then eat. Serve with steamed vegetables or salad. -
Lentils and Rice two of my favourite foods and absolutely delicious, nice subtle flavours. Incredibly easy and a feel good, comfort food. Cooked this tonight with Tebo's recipe for Vietnamese Cabbage. Great combination. Baked Lentils and Rice will be a staple in our menu. Great recipe!
