How To Make red lentil & rice stew w/ cauliflower and peas

  • 1
    In a medium size dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, coriander, cumin, mustard, turmeric and cayenne. Stir constantly to toast the spices for 1 min.
  • 2
    Add the rice, salt and 4 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the lentils and then reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until the rice and lentils are just tender, about 20 min (35 min. for brown lentils).
