Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Rinse the lentils under cold water and drain. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the carrot.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and diced carrot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

3

Cook the Lentils and Rice

Add the rinsed lentils, rice, vegetable broth, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice and lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed.

4

Fluff and Serve

Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
