INSTANT POT MIDDLE EASTERN LENTILS WITH RICE, LEEKS, AND SPINACH
Steps:
- Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are dark golden at the edges, about 10 minutes.Season with a pinch of salt. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out half the leeks and transfer to a bowl; set aside for the garnish.
- Stir the garlic into the pot and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the cumin, allspice, and cayenne and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the lentils, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, the bay leaf, and cinnamon stick to the pot.
- Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
- Uncover the pot and stir in the rice, working quickly so the lentil mixture stays hot. Lock the lid back into place and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
- Uncover and stir in the spinach. Cover the pot with the lid (but don't lock it on) and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to wilt the greens and finish cooking the rice.
- In a small bowl, season the yogurt with salt to taste.
- Discard the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Serve the lentils warm, garnished with the reserved leeks and salted yogurt on top, and drizzled with more olive oil.

EASY ONE POT LENTILS AND RICE
I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

Steps:
- Cover the lentils with the water.
- Peel and crush the garlic cloves lightly with the back of a knife. Leave the cloves whole, so that they flavor the dish but can be removed if desired. (I leave them out of the kids' portions, and give them to my DH and myself).
- Add garlic to the pot, along with the bay leaves, cumin seeds and cinnamon. (DO NOT add salt at this point, as lentils will not cook properly).
- Bring to a boil. Cook at a boil until the lentils are just tender. This should take about 25 minutes, but may take longer dependig on the age of your lentils.
- Add the rice, salt and olive oil, and bring back to a boil.
- Stir, cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Check to make sure the rice is done, adjust seasonings, and serve. If there is still too much liquid in the pan, just let it sit uncovered for a few minutes.
- Enjoy!
RICE & LENTILS WITH A TWIST
This is my version of Rice & Lentils, after adding things over the years. I love this stuff and my husband is polite about it.:) It is not a pretty dish, but it is healthy comfort food at it's best! I am a slow prep person, this may go much faster for you. ;)

Steps:
- Peel and chop sweet potatoes and apples into chunks, and put in a large bowl.
- Peel and chop onions.
- Rinse and check lentils and put in a large dutch oven. Add enough cold water to reach 2 inches above the lentils. Set in pan over high heat.
- While water is warming add paprika, cayenne pepper, cardamom, and cumin.
- Put oil in a frying pan, over medium heat, and add chopped onions. Add cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger. Heat until onions are soft and spices are fragrant.
- When water comes to boil in dutch oven, add red rice and stir. Let boil while the onions are cooking. When onions are finished add to dutch oven along with sweet potatoes and apples. Reduce to medium heat and cover, stirring occasionally. If you need more water(and you will) boil it first to keep cooking temperature steady.
- Cook about 30 minutes more or until sweet potatoes and apples are very soft.
- Garnish with yogurt or sour cream.

WHOLE RICE AND LENTILS (MAJADARA)
One of my 'Israeli' recipes that I've adapted for whole rice (that in my opinion needs more seasoning). Good as a whole meal or as a side dish. Freezes fairly well, too.
