Lentils and Rice

This recipe comes from a family favorite that my aunt shared—simple, comforting, and built for leftovers. The lentils are simmered until just tender and then finished with a quick sauté of scallions, garlic and tomato (the guiso). Serve each bowl with cooked brown rice and top with chopped hard‑boiled eggs and crispy bacon.

Leftovers refrigerate well and can be gently loosened with a splash of water when reheating.
