Ingredients | Lentils And Steamed Rice

1 cup dry lentils, rinsed

2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon garlic powder

¾ cup white rice, rinsed

¾ cup water

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine the lentils, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt, the cumin, and garlic powder in a pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until the lentils begin to soften, 20 to 30 minutes.
