This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also like to add a can of diced tomatoes to the pot. It gives the dish a little extra flavor and makes it even more hearty.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The brown rice and lentils were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. I served it with a side of yogurt and it was a perfect meal.
