Perfect Pastitsio (Vegetarian)
By: Nye McClelland
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, diced (you can use more if you like, I do)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup brown rice (I use Uncle Ben's)
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 4 cups water (approximately)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (you can use more or less)
Directions
1
Heat oil in pan.2
add onions, and cook on medium high heat until they are brown- stir occasionally.3
stir in rice and lentils, mix in with onions.4
add water.5
add salt, mix contents.6
cover and simmer.7
This will take over an hour. The water will be absorbed into rice and lentils. Make sure they are soft. Sometimes you may need to add a little more water. Stir occasionally.8
Best if served in a shallow bowl, and let sit for 10 minutes or so. Enjoy warm or cold.

I just made this and it was great. Very easy to make. I used white rice instead and used less water (brown rice always needs more water). Next time I will try it with the brown rice and use more onions. I also pan cooked some turkey sausage I had left over (3 links) and added it to the rice. I was great. This can be eaten w/or w/o meat.

I used standard short grain brown rice and caramelized the onions. Good vegetarian meal served with a tossed salad and pear sauce. Thanks!

:yummy: This is really tasty! I cooked 2 versions of this - one as in the recipe and one with the additiona of 1/2 a chicken stock cube and 1/2 tsp of ras el hanout spices. Both versions were delicious... I agree wholeheartedly that this is comfort food and it's great that it's so healthy and nutritious too. Will have the leftovers for lunch today
