Lentils with Brown Rice and Feta

A hearty and healthy dish packed with protein and fiber. The feta cheese adds a tangy flavor that complements the earthy lentils and brown rice.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes.
In another saucepan, add the lentils and enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Drain the lentils and add them to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Stir to combine.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the lentils and rice in bowls, topped with the crumbled feta cheese.
