lentil mix -- our new staple.

1 1/2c. dry lentils
1 c. dry split peas
1/2 c. masala lentils (without the hull, orange)
6 c. water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 t. Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute
(1 - 2 cups minute brown rice at the end--DO NOT ADD NOW)

Put on high. BOIL for 1 minute, STIR, then COVER, and SIMMER for 25 minutes on medium-low.

After 25 minutes of simmering, stir it, poor in the rice to soak up the rest of the water. COVER, REMOVE from heat, let sit COVERED at least 5 minutes.

Serve alone, along side your baked chicken, use like you would rice pilaf!
