Quickie Rice and Lentil Dish
I make this often when I need something to go with steamed veggies and a salad and I don't have time to fuss over many ingredients or procedures. It's adapted from an old 7th Day Adventist cookbook that I think was published in Newfoundland.
Baked Rice and Lentils
2 medium onions, diced
1/2 cup uncooked rice
2/3 cup uncooked green lentils
2/1-2 cups water
4 tsp or so of soya sauce
Saute the onion in oil, if you wish (I just throw it in with everything else without doing this).
In a small casserole dish, dump rice, lentils, water and soya sauce and the raw / sauteed onions.
Bake covered at 325 F for at least 40 minutes or until the rice is tender. Add water if necessary and add salt / pepper to taste when done if desired (I never do since the soya sauce is salty enough).
Optional: Add 1/2 cup of sauteed mushrooms or drained canned mushrooms. Add crushed garlic to taste.
