Directions
Rinse the rice. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add rice. Return to a boil, stirring once, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 to 30 minutes, until water is absorbed.
Rince the lentils. Place them in a soup pot and cover with 2 to 3 cups of water or broth. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes or until lentils are soft.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add onion and tomato.
When onion is transparent, add seasoning paket and garlic. To prevent sticking, you may need to add water, a tablespoon at a time.
Cook 1 to 3 minutes, until vegetables are coated and mixture is a paste.
Add paste to lentils and stir.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice.
