Enjoy a hearty pilaf bursting with warm spices, tender red lentils, nutty brown rice, and plump edamame, enhanced by the freshness of diced tomatoes and aromatic garlic and onion. This dish offers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors that's both nourishing and delightfully spiced.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup red lentils, cooked
1/2 cup shelled edamame, cooked
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cool water.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a simmer and add the rinsed lentils. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain any excess liquid.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of water or a small drizzle of oil if desired. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin and turmeric into the onion and garlic, letting the spices bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked brown rice, red lentils, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Mix in the sautéed edamame. Toss gently to ensure even distribution of spices.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to blend all the flavors.
Let the pilaf cook together for 3-5 minutes so the flavors meld, then serve warm.
