Ingredients

5 ½ cups water, divided
1 cup brown lentils
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup long grain white rice
½ cup texturized vegetable protein (TVP)
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
4 ½ teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Combine 3 cups water and lentils in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Once lentils have simmered for 10 minutes, stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups water, cooked onion, rice, TVP, parsley, bouillon, curry powder, and cumin. Return to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand undisturbed for 20 minutes.
Season with pepper and stir before serving.
