Side Dishes: Lentils & Rice

Coat bottom of a 4-quart pan with olive oil, add onions and bay leaf, cook on low-medium heat until translucent. Add carrots, rice, lentils, water and bouillon cubes. Bring to boil, lower heat. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Low heat is the secret here. Stir occasionally while cooking to keep liquids evenly distributed. This freezes beautifully and is a quick micro-wave dish right from the freezer.
