rice and lentils with Mediterranean flair

From here.

Saute:
  • onion until soft

Then add in

  • 1 c. lentils for a few minutes

And then:

  • a few cloves of garlic

Add:
  • 1 can tomatoes with basil, etc.
  • 4 c liquid (water, or I used turkey stock, or tomato puree in lieu of the can of tomatoes & some of liquid)
  • 1/2 c. chopped kalamata olives
  • 1 c. brown rice
  • pepper and a bit of salt (depending on what else is added)
  • basil, etc.
  • Anything else of this theme that you find in the fridge - such as preserved lemons, artichoke hearts, capers, sundried tomatoes ... 

Cook 50 minutes.

Stir in feta (2/3 c. or so)

Very tasty, this will go into the rotation.  Even though the lentils cost $4.89 for a pound.  Sheesh!  I'll find a cheaper source, and for feta.
