Great Side Dish: Lentils & Brown Rice

I've been on a kick with eating Middle Eastern food and one of the side dishes was lentils and rice. Of course this is not as good as the restaurants but still makes a great side dish.

Lentils & Brown Rice Recipe:

• 1 cup of dried lentils
• 1 cup of brown rice
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Saute onions, set aside. Boil a pot with water, add bouillon cubes. Add 1 cup of rice. Let boil for 20 minutes (if you use white rice you do not need that long, brown rice takes longer to cook) Add lentils to rice in pot cook until lentils get soft. Add sauteed onion to pot and let simmer all together.

Perfect side dish to serve with chicken kabobs and hummus!
