Rice with Lentils and Split Peas

This is super easy and delicious. Can be a side dish, a main dish or breakfast. Gluten and corn free so it fits in nicely with my diet. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties.

 Ingredients:

1 cup dry rice

1 and 1/2 cup water

1/3 cup dry lentils

1/3 cup split peas

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions:

1. Cook rice with water (rice steamer or on stove)

2. Fill a large pot half way with water, bring to boil

3. Add lentils and split peas to the pot

4. Simmer for at least 25 minutes

5. Drain lentils and split peas

6. Return to pot and stir in cooked rice

7. Season individual servings with olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper

8. Top with fresh parsley

Makes 6 servings

This is a great food that I eat all the time. Great with leftovers, roasted vegetables or eggs.
