Lentils and Rice

Ingredients

· 1 cup Lentils

· 1/4 teaspoon Salt

· 4 1/2 teaspoons Olive Oil

· 1 Onion, chopped

· 1 clove Garlic, chopped

· 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

· 1 tablespoon ground Cumin

· 1/2 cup Rice

· 5-6 cups Broth or homemade vegetable stock

Directions:

1. Place the olive oil into the bottom of the crock pot.

2. Turn the pot onto the highest setting and add the onions.

3. Allow the onions warm in the oil for 10-15 minutes.

4. Add the remaining ingredients, with the broth.

5. If cooking the dish all day, reduce heat to low, otherwise

leave on high setting.

6. Cover.

7. Stir the dish while in the crock- If it is dry, add a little

broth - If it's soup-like, remove lid for a little while, or turn

heat to high setting.

8. It's tasty as a main meal or as a pilaf to accompany other

meals - Cook for 8 hours on low or 4-5 on high.

NOTE: Start with 5 cups broth - That way it won't be " mushy " if you

make this recipe while you're out for the entire day- You can always

add more water or broth, but it's hard to " un-mush " lentils & rice

unless you like it that way!
