A Tasty Vegan Recipe


Quilt for Kai
October 2010

Here's a very tasty main course for vegans.
Needless to say you do not have to be a vegan
or a vegetarian to enjoy this!! 



Brown Rice and Lentils
serves 4-6
3 1/2 cups low sodium veggie broth
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup lentils rinsed and picked over
3/4 cup brown rice
2 T olive oil
1T onion powder
( I use 1/4 cup finely chopped onion)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
(I use 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic)
1/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
In a medium pot bring all ingredients to a boil
over high heat. Reduce heat to med-low to low,
cover and simmer until rice/lentils are tender.
Stirring occasionally about 45-60 minutes.

I first made this recipe for our Christmas dinner in 2010.
It has become one of our favorites.
I made the baby quilt for our good friend Tom's first grandchild.
