2 cups red lentils

1/4 cup basmati rice

Oil spray

1 cup finely diced onions

1/2 tomato -- peeled and finely

diced

2 Tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

9 cups vegetarian stock or water

Salt and pepper to taste

Mint leaves (garnish)

 

Place the lentils and rice in a sieve. Pick them over,

discarding any debris.

Rinse the lentils and rice until the water runs clear.

Drain well.

Meanwhile, spray a large saucepan or Dutch oven with

oil spray. Saute the onions until they are soft.

Add the tomato, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper,

stirring thoroughly.

Add the lentils and rice. Add the stock and bring to a

boil. Reduce heat, cover the pan, and simmer, stirring

occasionally, until the rice is cooked and the lentils

have achieved the consistency of a puree (about half

an hour).

Remove from heat and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve

individual portions garnished with mint leaves.
