DS FAMILY - I NEED HELP!!!
Sure. In use an instant pot.... Literally a miracle device in the kitchen.... But I'm sure you can make this on the stove top it will just take longer
Lentils are very cheap. About 1 dollar per lb. They are usually by the dry beans or in the soup isle. The are full of protein and fiber!
Chop
1 onion
3 carrots
3 celery
Saute in oil with 1 Clove of garlic
Add in 1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 can of Rotel
6 cups of chicken broth (I generally will use bullion instead... But if I do I cut out the additional salt)
2 cups of lentils
1/2 cup of brown rice
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
(I add in 1 tsp chili powder.... But you can make this very mild... Leave it out. You can also substitute diced tomatoes for the Rotel)
You can make it like this or I like to add in a lb of chicken breast..... Always looking to add in protein.
If I use frozen chicken it is 24 minutes in the instant pot with natural pin release.
Your can serve after the instant pot released all of the pressure. I like to shred the checking and put it on top. Again you can leave out the chicken if you want.
If you don't know what it instant pot is you should Google it, it can be a dsers best friend.
If you cook this on a stove top you will have to add more liquid as it Cooks. I'm guessing it will take a couole hours for the lentils to soften.

Mmmm. I love lentils. I eat them 5-6 times a week.
