- 1 cup dry lentils
- 3 -5 cups low sodium chicken broth or 3 -5 cups water
- 1⁄2 cup dry long-grain rice

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon syrian pepper or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper and 1/2 tsp ground allspice

- Pick through the lentils, checking for stones, rinse the lentils, and put them in a pot with 3 cups of chicken broth or water.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes or until lentils are starting to become tender.
- Add the rice and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the rice is cooked. Check the mixture occasionally and add more liquid if necessary.
