I love making this as there is virtually no mess or work involved, yet the end result is filling, healthy and delicious. There are a few different variations but one that we all love is the following:
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 1 cup uncooked small brown lentils (Berg Linsen)
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Method:
Put all ingredients into a casserole dish and bake it in the oven at 180°C for about 1 hour and 20 mins until all water is absorbed and lentils and rice are lovely and soft.
While the oven is on, I usually make roast vegetables or a baked ratatouille to serve with the casserole. This amount of food serves us for two meals and is tasty hot or cold the next day.
