Kristen's Lentils and Rice

This has been a long staple in my house.  

Lentils and Rice

1 cup Lentils
1 cup Brown Rice
1/2 cup butter
1 small onion
1 tsp. cumin
Broth (vegetable or chicken)

Pitas (whole wheat-I have a great recipe for this is you want it to)
Hummus
Lemons
Vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers)

Saute the onions and the lentils in the butter.  Add 4-5 cups broth.  Cook 4o minutes or until the water is absorbed.  Serve in pitas with lemon juice squeezed on top.  I always accompany it with vegis and hummus on the side.  I also like mine with tomato slices.  

If I am looking to cut the carbs I double the lentils and eat it without the pita.  

I hope you enjoy.  Super fast and easy and my kids LOVE it!!
