In a pot, combine the lentils, vegetable broth (or water), chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Cook the Rice
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice and salt. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
