Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 This is a really good recipe and completely vegan if you don't add sour cream or yogurt as a topping. Now I have never made it in a crock pot but I don't see why not. If anyone tries it in a crock pot please let me know the results. Barbara CURRIED RICE WITH LENTILS This is good by itself or topped with sour cream or yogurt, and chutney. Also makes a good stuffing for acorn squash or other vegetables. 1-2 T oil 1/2 onion chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 t. ground ginger 1/2 t. turmeric 2-3 t. curry powder 1 C. brown rice 3/4 C. dried lentils, washed and picked over 4 C. water and 2 vegetable bouillon cubes or your own veggie broth salt to taste 1/2 C. raisins or currants 1/4 C. sunflower seeds 1 large tart apple or 2 medium, diced Garnish: 1 C. plain low-fat yogurt and 1/4 C. raisins or chutney Adjust seasonings, onion to taste-I love garlic and onion Heat 1 T. oil in a heavy bottomed soup pot, 2 qt. saucepan or Dutch oven and saute the onion with 1 clove garlic until it turns transparent. Add the ginger, turmeric and curry powder and saute for a few minutes longer. Add more oil if necessary, and the rice and saute for 2 min. Add the lentils, water, bouillon cubes, remaining garlic , raisins, and sunflower seeds and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat, and simmer for 25 min. Add the apples and simmer, covered for another 10-15 min or until the water is absorbed. Serve topped with yogurt and if desired raisins and or chutney.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Vegan sour cream and yogurt can also be purchased (or even made)! Looks like a tasty recipe, thanks!
