Curried Lentils and Rice

Recipe #55135 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

This is a recipe I adopted from Zenith's recipe collection when many unloved recipes were put up for adoption. All of her recipes were very good and this is no exception. Here's what Zenith had to say about this dish: A tasty vegetarian one-pot meal. (If you're not a vegetarian, you may wish to make this with chicken broth.)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the 2 T broth (or you can use oil) in a heavy-bottomed soup pot, saucepan, or Dutch oven and saute the onion with 1 clove of the garlic until it begins to turn translucent.
  2. 2
    Add the ginger, turmeric, and curry powder and saute for a few minutes longer.
  3. 3
    Add more broth (or water), if necessary, and the rice, and saute for 2 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the lentils, 4 cups water, bouillon cubes, remaining garlic, and raisins and bring to a boil.
  5. 5
    Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 25 minutes.
  6. 6
    Add the apples and simmer, covered, for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  7. 7
    Optionally, serve topped with plain yogurt and some more raisins.

this is an excellent recipe that you can do so much with!! i've already used it as a cold salad (jazzed it up with a few things first plus a dressing), a main with poached egg and as a side dish with mango chutney and yoghurt. i wouldn't use less than 3tsp curry, but i guess that depends on personal taste. also didnt add the raisins (*.*) thanks!!!

    An excellent vegetarian dish. This was made as directed and served with Seared Chard. I did use the full 3 teaspoons curry powder and added in some sea salt after cooking.

    This recipe is awesome and easy to fix. I used a Fuji apple instead of a tart apple since I didn't have one on hand and substituted golden raisins for the regular ones since they are not as sweet. I also added all the garlic when sautéing the onions. Thank you so much for a yummy recipe. My 17 month old loved it! The only other adjustment I would make is to add more lentils and less rice. Over all SUPER YUM!

    We're eating more vegetarian and this is an excellent addition to anyone's recipe box. This is tasty, filling, great for the tired cook and tastes great with a dollop of yogurt on top. Even DH said, "Make it again!" DS disdains it but he's not too adventurous.
