Desperation Dinners: Veggie Lover's Lentils Over Rice

[Guest guest]

Great recipes! Do you have more that use the frozen lentils? I'm passing

them onto to my oamc group. Personally, I'd use real rice in a rice cooker,

as it's just as easy as instant, though it takes a bit longer. I also would

prefer to use fresh garlic and have a quickchop to cut it up quickly.

I wish they weren't so darn expensive, since they're so convenient! I think

they're great for tossing into food, whole or crushed up, to boost flavor

and nutritional content. In fact, if you had a veggie hater in your family,

you could powder them and have some invisible veggies pretty easily. My

kids like veggies, but again, they're easy, so I'd use them. But I could go

through one of those big containers every few days, if I had an unlimited

supply.
