Here is how you make Spiced Lentils and Rice:

Put all ingredients except parsley into the rice cooker. Add water according to your rice cooker?s instruction manual or use 4 cups of water. Stir and set to Cook. When the cooker shuts off, check to make sure both rice and lentils are tender and no water remains. If they are not tender, add 1/4 cup more water and restart. (This shouldn?t be necessary, but rice cookers do vary.) When done, remove the cinnamon and cloves, fluff the rice, and add the minced parsley. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like.NotesTo cook it on the stovetop, follow the same directions, but increase the water to 4 1/2 cups. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, and cook on low until water is absorbed, about 45 minutes.VariationsYou can reverse the measurements of the lentils and rice to make this a more lentil-centered dish.Serving Size: Makes 6 servings each about 2 cupsNumber of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRMALLORY1986.
