▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup / 200g Brown rice – medium grain (if you are using long grain brown rice adjust the cooking time as it cooks faster than the medium grain rice)
2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1+ 1/2 cup / 200g Onion – one medium size onion
2 Tablespoon Garlic – 5 to 6 Garlic approx.
1+1/2 cup / 350ml Strained tomatoes/Passata
300g / 8 to 9 cups approx. – Fresh Spinach – chopped
4 cups / 1 Liter Water
1/4 Teaspoon Chilli flake (Optional)
2 cups / 1 Can (540 ml) Cooked chickpeas
3/4 cup / 20g Fresh Dill (If you like mild dill flavor add 1/2 cup)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
▶️ Garnish:
1/3 cup / 15g Parsley – finely chopped (Optional)
Lemon juice to taste (I have added 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
Black pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon black pepper)
Drizzle of Olive oil – 1 to 2 Tbsp (I have added 1 tablespoon organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Wash thoroughly and soak 1 cup of brown rice for 1 hour.
To a heated pan add olive oil, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to onion will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium-high heat until it just starts to caramelize.
Once the onion has started to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium low (depending on the heat of your stove). Add the finely chopped garlic, chilli flakes and continue to fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Now add the strained tomatoes, spinach and mix well. Now drain the brown rice. Transfer the soaked rice, chickpeas, salt, water and fresh dill to the pot and bring it to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked but still sightly firm. (We don’t want mushy rice).
Uncover and turn the heat to medium high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with Parsley, lemon juice and a good quality olive oil. The garnish will enhance the taste of this dish so I recommend not skipping it. Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
– Thoroughly wash/soak the brown rice, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk
– If you are using long grain brown rice adjust the cooking time accordingly, as it cooks faster than the medium grain rice
– If you are using a different type of rice adjust the water and cooking time accordingly
– Adding salt to onion will release it’s moisture and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
– Turn the heat to medium-low to low before adding the garlic and spices. This will prevent them from burning
– Chop the spinach to prevent long strings of stem
– The garnish will enhance the taste of this dish so I recommend not skipping it
Enjoy!

One Pot Mediterranean Lentil And Rice Recipe (Plant-Based) | Easy One Pot Vegan Recipes

1 Cup / 200g BROWN LENTILS ONLY (washed and soaked in water for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender)
(NOTE: Some brown lentils are more dry than the others and therefore need more soaking time. How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak it longer)
1 Cup /200g BASMATI Rice (thoroughly washed/soaked in water for 20 minutes)
3 Cup / 400g Chopped Onions – 2 medium size onions (430g with skin on)
1 Tablespoon ginger (very finely chopped)
1 Tablespoon garlic (very finely chopped)
3/4 Cup Strained Tomatoes / Passata
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper OR to taste (Optional)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
Garnish:
3/4 cup / 70g Parsley (finely chopped)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
Lemon or Lime juice to taste (I have added 1+1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, I like it a bit sour)
Extra Virgin Olive oil (I have added 2 tablespoons of organic cold-pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Wash and soak the brown lentils for at least 4 to 6 hours (or overnight) until the lentils are very tender.
[PLEASE NOTE: Some brown lentils are more dry than the others and there need more soaking time. How to know if the lentils are soaked well? You could should be able to cut a lentil piece with your nails, effortlessly. If not, then soak it longer.]
Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities and gunk (this is an important step so do not skip it). Soak for about 20 minutes.
Heat a pan, add cooking oil, onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Adding salt to the onions will help release water and help it cook faster. Fry the onion on medium-high heat until it starts to caramelize. Once caramelized, reduce the heat to medium to medium-low heat (depending on the heat of your stove) and add finely chopped ginger and garlic. Fry until the onions are nicely browned (be careful not to burn the onion).
Once the onion is caramelized, add the strained tomatoes/passata and the spices and give it a nice mix. Now drain and rinse the lentils/drain the rice. Add it to the pot along with the salt and water. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, uncover and check to see if the rice and lentils are cooked (it should be cooked by now, if its not, cover and cook it for a bit longer). Now continue cooking UNCOVER for another 1 to 2 minutes on low heat to get rid of any excess moisture. Turn off the heat.
Garnish with parsley, lemon juice, ground black pepper and drizzle of olive oil. Mix gently because the rice is delicate at this point and we don’t want to break it. Cover and let it sit for another 5 minutes before serving (for the flavors to blend).
Stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. It’s perfect for meal planning.
IMPORTANT TIPS:

– Its really important that the lentils soaks well. The reason is to match the cooking time soaked lentil with the rice. This will prevent the rice from getting mushy
