Tahini Brown Rice With Lentils Recipe


Tahini Brown Rice With Lentils Recipe
I love this recipe. I adapted it from my Fresh cook book. It can be a side dish or a main dish. I tend to leave room for change in my recipes so others to make their own. The cooking time varies on the rice you choose.

I love lentils and rice and lemon juice. I will try adding the tahini the next time I make this.
Great post

Just in case:
Tahini

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup tepid water
Preparation:
Place sesame seeds in a blender or food processor and grind until smooth. Add sesame oil and salt. Process until combined. With the motor running, add the water in a very slow, steady stream and blend until smooth.

Yield: about 1/2 cup

Note: Sesame seeds turn rancid quickly, so make certain yours are fresh. Be sure to store them away from light and heat and use quickly. For more information on sesame seeds


I'm eating a lot of brown rice these days because of my diet and this sounds like a nice way to get a lot of extra flavor and change things up a bit.
