Savory Lentils and Brown Rice with Eggs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Lentils and Brown Rice with Eggs.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious meal, grab a saucepan and bring 1 1/2 cups of brown rice and 3 cups of water to a lively boil over high heat.

2. Step 2

   Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rice is perfectly tender.

3. Step 3

   While the rice is cooking, let’s move on to the lentils.

4. Step 4

   In a separate pot, warm up 3 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat.

5. Step 5

   Add in 1 teaspoon of curry powder and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, stirring them together for just a few seconds until the aroma fills your kitchen—this is where the magic begins! Next, pour in the remaining 3 cups of water, toss in a vegetable bouillon cube, and stir in 1 1/2 cups of red lentils.

6. Step 6

   Bring this vibrant mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are nearly tender.

7. Step 7

   As the lentils cook, take a spoon and gently create four shallow indentations in the mixture.

8. Step 8

   Crack an egg into each indentation, cover the pot again, and let it cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness—about 5 minutes will give you lovely medium-well eggs.
