Vegeterian Tips: Many upscale food chains have either one or the other, or both salad and soup bars. Salad bars are great for vegetarians, but be careful not to overload on dressings, croutons, nuts, or cheese. Be sure to check with your server about the soups available and that they are bean based, with no meat. If there is nothing else available, salad and soup bars can make a hearty and tasty meal.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup of brown basmati style rice
- chopped green onion (to taste)
- 2 tablespoon toasted chopped almonds
- 1 veggie boullion cube
- 1/4 cup of lentils (any kind you like – I used them from a can)
- 2 1/2 cups water
Directions:
I actually came up with this by accident (I had
leftover rice and lentils) and it happens to
taste REALLY good, hot or cold.
Boil the brown rice as per the instructions on
the package (Other wise, boil the rice and water
with the boullion cube until fast bubbles and
then turn heat to half and cover for 45 minutes,
rice should be nice and fluffy)
As for the lentils, I went the easy way and used
canned lentils but by all means, please prepare
them as you wish. Rinse and add 1/4 cup along
with the chopped onions and toasted almonds
(lightly brush almond pieces with sunflower oil
and place on broiler or in toaster oven.)
And that”s it! It tastes yummy!
