     Slow Cooker Lentils and Rice

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   8 cups

Ingredients
1 cup uncooked brown long grain rice
1 cup dried lentils
1 medium onion, diced
1 can (14.5 oz) low sodium diced tomatoes
5 oz fresh spinach, shopped or frozen, but thaw and drain first
5 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
 
1 tsp sea salt or to taste
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper or to taste
1 package (8 oz) non dairy cheese

Instructions
Place the rice and lentils in a large bowl, cover with water and soak overnight or at least 6 hours. Drain and place in the slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients except the cheese. Cover and cook on high 5-6 hours or low 8 hours. It's done when the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been cooked down. If using cheese add it individually to each serving.
To change the flavor of this dish substitute the oregano and basil for cumin and chili powder and add some frozen corn (thaw and drain first). To make an Indian inspired dish substitute the oregano and basil for curry powder, cumin and garam masala and add carrots and cauliflower. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You may want to add a little broth when warming up.
