Hearty dish of rice and legumes with vegetables. They say that it is not only tasty and satisfying, but also has a healing effect, but I suggest getting to know it from a culinary point of view.

How to cook Small

Step 1

Pour rice with lentils with water, add 1 tsp. salt and simmer.

Step 2

In a frying pan in butter, stew vegetables with spices and 1 tsp. salt until nearly done. I took carrots, zucchini and broccoli from vegetables. You can choose your favorite vegetables.

Vegetables can be fried, it will be even tastier. And you can immediately add to rice with lentils - then you get a dietary option.

Step 4

5 minutes before the rice is fully cooked, pour vegetables into a saucepan with rice and lentils, add dill, parsley, cilantro if desired. And bring the dish to readiness in 5 minutes.
