Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 3/4 cups water
3/4 cup brown rice -- uncooked
1/2 cup lentils -- uncooked
1/4 cup raisins
2 vegetable bouillon cubes

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and almonds. Cook and stir until onion is tender and almonds are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
