Ingredients

3/4 cup dry lentils

3/4 cup brown rice

4 packets reduced-sodium chicken broth powder (or 4 boullion cubes)

2 tablespoons dry onion

1 tablespoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon basil

4 cups tap water

2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

In a 2-quart saucepan bring the water and oil to a boil. As the water is heating, add the lentils, rice, broth powder, and seasonings. Bring the whole thing to a nice fat boil. Reduce the heat to low. Place a lid on the lentils and allow the mixture to simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes. The water should be mostly absorbed. You may serve this as is, or topped with a little cheddar cheese if desired.

If you are having a busy day and don't have time to cook this on the stove, it can cook in the crock pot on low for about 6 hours instead. I've never cooked it on high, so I'm not sure how quickly it would cook that way. I suspect about 3 or 4 hours would be enough.
