Here is how you make KATHLEEN'S BEST LENTILS WITH RICE:

Measure bouillon, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander and crushed red pepper into a small dish and set aside. Chop bell peppers into 1-2 inch pieces. Chop onions into strips or chunks of approximately equal size to the peppers. Slice carrots diagonally about 1/4" to 1/3" thick. Heat oil in frying pan, saute vegetables in it until carrots can be pricked with a fork but still a bit crisp in the middle. While that is happening, combine water and lentils in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the remaining ingredients minus the fruit, and allow to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes while you prepare and cook the rice according to the package instructions.If I make my rice the old fashioned stove top method, it's usually done about the same time the lentils are.Mix the fruit into the lentil/veggie combo and let rest for about 5 minutes.Can be served family style, plate the rice on a platter and spoon the lentils over the rice, garnishing with a few lemon slices and a sprig of parsley or mint. Or just spoon it out into a bowl...Makes about 12 servings (1/2 cup of rice per person)Serving Size:?makes approximately twelve servings.
