Steamed rice with lentils and kale
Background
This steamed rice with lentils and kale is lovely side dish that goes well with fried/roasted/grilled meats or stews. It’s vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free so it fits in many diets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown basmati rice
- 1 tin brown lentils
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 handful chopped curly kale
- ½ cup vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the rice thoroughly then put them in a pot. Add 3 cups of water, then bring to the boil over high heat. Don’t cover the pot!
- When the surface of the rice is moon-like and bubbly, turn down the heat to very low, cover the pot and cook for 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, and rest the rice for 10 minutes under cover.
- Meanwhile, cut the onion into thin slices. Finely chop the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently sauté the onion. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
- Add the lentils and vinegar, the stir for a minute. Add the kale and the stock.
- Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then fold in gently the rice. Add more stock if it’s too dry - it should be moist but not stew-like. Season to taste.
- Mix in the chopped herbs, then serve.
