add rice. Return to a boil, stirring once, then reduce heat and simmer
about 20 – 30 minutes, until water is absorbed. Rince the lentils. Place
them in a soup pot and cover with 2-3 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 1-3 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.
