The simplest, healthiest, most delicious meal!
Hadn't thought about dinner all day. Cody mentioned beans and rice. Didn't have time to make beans so lentils and rice it is! Our staple meal around here.
I decided to go 'mujadara' style. After I measured 1 cup each of lentils and brown rice and dumped them in the pot with 4 cups water, I added lots of cumin and garlic powder (not garlic salt), salt and a lot of fresh cracked black pepper. I also added some smoked pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low until done.
We had 2 ripe avocados. I diced one on top of our bowls, it was creamy and flavorful and made the dish complete! With urgings from Henry's highchair, we cracked open the 2nd...just as delicious! Add some cholula or salsa if you prefer. I thought it would be good with a wedge of lime squeezed on top. The vitamin C in the lime would also help our bodies absorb more of the iron from the lentils. Next time!
