BNI™ 0.0: Rice & lentils, Recipe, 2012.
An almost peasant's dish, very simple and with some shortcomings for saving time. The recipe combines legumes and cereals, which complement each other in their protein deficiencies and end up making a "superfood".
Boiling the rice and egg takes the longest time in this recipe. Thus, start by getting some brown rice ready, boiling it in twice the amount of water (or slightly more, if you want a softer rice). Once the water boils, reduce the heat and let the rice simmer until the water is absorbed (15 minutes, approximately). If you are going to go for a boiled egg as accompaniment, you may also start boiling it in a second pan around this time, as well.
When the rice is cooked, open a can of lentils in brine, and retrieve an equal weight of lentils to the weight of the raw rice (rice will weight approximately twice as much after cooking, and will occupy three times as much volume). Discard any water, and add some bran. You may heat the lentils in a microwave or, else, heat them by mixing them into the hot rice (thus, cooling the rice a bit, as well).
Finally, peel and add a medium egg, boiled or, if preferred, poached or fried. Serve and enjoy.
