LENTILS AND RICE CASSEROLE



Lentils and Rice Casserole image

This recipe got its start from ladypit's Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole #74629. After weeks of tinkering, I adapted it so much that it really became something totally different. LOL My family, especially my 13 month old, really love this! Wholesome, filling and super easy to throw together! I make this all the time. The leftovers are great, too.

  • Boil the lentils and rice for 15-20 minutes in the vegetable stock, stirring occasionally. You'll need to stir constantly during the last 5 minutes or so, to ensure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Once they're cooked, don't drain the water, but instead continue stirring over the heat until enough water has boiled off for the mixture to resemble porridge.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the chopped leek, pepper, mushrooms and courgette. Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
  • Combine the cooked lentils and vegetables in a large mixing bowl, and add the paprika, cayenne pepper, and plenty of black pepper. Mix well.
