Ingredients
-
1
Large onion
-
5
galic cloves
-
3
Carrots
-
3
tablespoons Olive oil
-
2
Celery sticks
-
1
pound French lentils
-
1
bunch Basil
-
3
tablespoons Roasted red peppers

Directions
- Chop the onion, carrots, celery and garlic and cook them in the olive oil.
- Add the lentils and stir in the salt, pepper and oregano.
- Cover the lentils with water and cook until done.
- Separately cook the rice, which ever your choice is. I used white rice this time but love to make them with other kinds of rice too.
- Mix the cooked lentils with the rice and then add the chopped roasted red peppers and the fresh basil which I love just breaking with my hands.
- If desired drizzle a little olive oil on top before serving, truffled ones go very nicely with this.
