Or, yet another variation on beans and rice.
Just what you wanted. Another recipe involving legumes and brown rice. Hey, when you're in the beans and rice, rice and beans stage of life, you look for variations on a very cheap theme.
I really liked this meal. Andrew really liked it too. Preston ate it. Lauren held one small forkful in her mouth for quite a while until she was threatened and finally swallowed it. I'm sure I'll be making it again soon!
adapted from The Cheapskate Cook (and by adapted, I mean, I cut the recipe in half)
1 cup lentils
1 cup brown rice
4 cups chicken broth (have you ever made your own?)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
salt to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Mix the lentils, rice, and broth in a saucepan, and boil around 25-30 minutes until everything is tender and broth is absorbed. Stir in tomato sauce and salt (I added quite a bit, but my chicken broth was unsalted) and plop it all into a square baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes until cheese is melty
This is very similar to the recipe I posted on here. I wonder how many variations there are to lentils and rice. I like this stuff. Brian has never complained about it .
ReplyDeleteHaha...that's faint praise, Sarah.
