Rice and Lentils (and corn, and broccoli...)


It's corn season!

My mom used to make us Rice and Lentils with cream of mushroom soup and I've been thinking about it lately, so I got some instructions and it turned out to be crazy easy. I usually hate the phrase 'comfort food', but this totally is one so it can't be avoided. And with low-fat soup, it's not even that bad for me.

Use 1/4 c. lentils to 3/4c. brown rice, and empty a can of cream of mushroom soup into a measuring cup. Fill with water until it gets to 2c., then pour in a pot with the rice and lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and let it cook until all the liquid has been absorbed.
That's it! Add some salt, and you've got dinner.
