Lentils With Apricots And Rice

A famous cigarette billboard pictures a curly-headed, bronze-faced, muscular macho with a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth. The sign says, 'Where a man belongs.' That is a lie. Where a man belongs is at the bedside of his children, leading in devotion and prayer. Where a man belongs is leading his family to the house of God. Where a man belongs is up early and alone with God seeking vision and direction for the family.

INSTRUCTIONS

Adapted this from a Moosewood cookbook.  I didn't have apricots, so I
substituted golden raisins instead.  Gonna try it again with the
apricots.  Rinse the lentils cover them with water and bring them to a
boil.  Reduce heat.  At this point, I added everything but the rice &
parsley and cooked until done.  In the meantime, I cooked the rice in
the microwave (2 cups water to 1 cup rice) and stirred it into the
lentils with the parsley.  ARIELLE@TARONGA.COM  (STEPHANIE DA SILVA)
