This was GOOD !!! I LOVED the spinach in with the lentils and rice. This has a bit of "heat" at the end, so reduce or eliminate the cayenne pepper if desired.
Comments from taste testers: Good flavor and texture. I REALLY like this. This is REALLY good.
Ingredients:
1 cup dry brown rice (I used brown rice and wild rice)
1 can lentils, with liquid
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp minced jar garlic
1 10-oz package frozen spinach
1 cup water
1/3 cup almond slivers or pine nuts (optional)
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a rice cooker and cook until done.
I really like the Rival 6-cup Rice Cooker w/Steamer. It makes cooking rice SOOO easy. I just put all the ingredients in the cooker . So my rice dish is complete with spices and veggies when the rice is cooked. The 6 cup isn't a big rice cooker, but it is plenty for 2 people.

DeleteHI Sarah !! THANKS for your question !
I would cook the rice, lentils, onion, cinnamon stick and red pepper in a pan on the stove and cook the spinach in the microwave or on top of the stove - and then I would just combine all the ingredients in a bowl and warm up on the stove or in microwave.
If you have an instant pot, you could put everything in that and cook on the rice setting.
I hope that helps !! - DEnise
