Lentil Rice Casserole
(4-6 servings)
Bake covered at 300 for 2-2 1/2 hours (which makes it easy to pop in the oven before it gets crazy-hungry dinner time)
Blend together the following in a casserole dish and let stand overnight or 7 hours to improve nutrition:
3 cups water
¾ cup uncooked lentils
½ cup uncooked brown rice
Whey or juice of ½ lemon

With this recipe will the onions still be crunchy or all the way cooked thru? Thanks for your blog love it! I love how you are so real no coverups.
The onions won’t stay crunchy. 🙁
if you don’t soak the lentils and rice will you need to bake it longer? Also, is this in a large rectangular casserole or a square brownie size pan? Thanks
I typically use a loaf pan or 8 x 8 glass dish! I have not noticed that it takes longer if the lentils and rice aren’t soaked — but it does help the nutrition value if they are!
We love trying new vegetarian recipes. This is definitely going in our rotation. Didn’t change a thing. Followed every ingredient suggestion and enjoyed them with whole wheat tortillas and shredded cheese. Thank you for sharing!
