INSTRUCTIONS
In a 4 quart deep pot with cover, saute leeks, garlic and red pepper
in a small amount of the broth. When soft, add the rest of the broth
or water, and stir in rice along with seasonings. Reduce heat and
simmer covered for about 40 minutes or until rice is done. Uncover,
stir in cooked lentils and reheat until lentils are hot. Garnish with
parsley and grated carrot before serving. *I deleted 1T of olive oil
for sauteing, so the nutritional information of 368 total calories and
6g of fat is off by whatever 1T olive oil accounts for. I also changed
1 clove garlic to 4, and 2 leeks to 4. It was too mild for me in it's
original incarnation. I also liked it better with basmati brown rice,
though the dish then became a pseudorisotto in texture. Delicious and
easy if you keep cooked lentils around! Vegetarian Journal,
