Frugal Recipe #3


Yet another recipe from Karen. Very frugal. We added turkey sausage and made it a complete meal. Yum!

Herbed Lentils and Rice Karen C.
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup dry lentils
1 cup rice
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup dry white wine (or water)
½ tsp. basil
¼ tsp. oregano
¼ tsp. garlic powder
salt, pepper
Combine all ingredients. Put mixture in ungreased 2 qt. casserole with a tight lid. Bake covered 350̊ for 1½ to 2 hours or until lentils and rice are done, stirring twice. May top with grated white cheese and bake 2-3 minutes more until cheese melts. Optional: Add two or three Italian sausages before baking to enhance flavor and variety.
