 Email To A Friend
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1/2 cup enriched long grain rice (I like Uncle Ben's)
- 2 cups of water
- 1 medium sized head of broccoli
- 1 cup of water
- 1 19oz. can lentil soup
- pinch of salt
- oregano, basil, and parsley to taste
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional)
Directions:
Add spices and salt to 2 cups of water, boil, add oil
(optional) then add rice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for
about 20 minutes, or until there is very little water left.
While rice is cooking, cut up broccoli to bite-sized
pieces, steam over one cup of water, until water is gone or
until a they start to soften.
When rice is ready, add lentil soup and broccoli and
continue to simmer for about 10 more minutes. Remove heat
and let sit for about 10 more minutes, stirring
occasionally.
I prefer a think consistancy, if you would
like more of a soup, add about 1/2-1 cup more water along
with lentils and broccoli.
This is an easy recipe that you do not have to stand over
constantly, leaving you time to do other things (write
papers) and shouldn't cost more than $3. This is great for
college students, and also as a pre-workout meal.
