Prep vegetables, lentils, and rice
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Fine-mesh strainer

Dice the onion and carrots, mince the garlic, and rinse the red lentils and white rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear.

Keep fingers curled away from the knife blade while dicing and mincing.

1 Count yellow onion
2 Count carrot
2 Count garlic
3/4 Cup red lentils
1 Cup white rice
2
Soften onion and carrots
Wooden spoon
Large pot with lid

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then cook the onion and carrots for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened.

Keep the pot handle turned inward while cooking to reduce the risk of knocking it over.

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Count yellow onion
2 Count carrot
3
Bloom the garlic
Wooden spoon
Large pot with lid

Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

2 Count garlic

Combine the pot ingredients
Measuring cups and spoons
Wooden spoon
Large pot with lid

Add the red lentils, rice, diced tomatoes, corn, broth, salt, and Italian seasoning, then stir well to combine.

3/4 Cup red lentils
1 Cup white rice
14 1/2 Ounce tomatoes
1 Cup corn
2 3/4 Cup vegetable broth
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon italian seasoning
5
Simmer until tender
Large pot with lid

Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the lentils are soft.

Lift the lid away from your face to avoid hot steam.

3/4 Cup red lentils
1 Cup white rice
14 1/2 Ounce tomatoes
1 Cup corn
2 3/4 Cup vegetable broth
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon italian seasoning
6
Rest, fluff, and serve
Wooden spoon
Large pot with lid

Turn off the heat and let the pot sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff gently and serve warm.

Stir before serving because rice and lentils can hold heat.

1 Cup white rice
