Vegan Rice, Lentils & Potatoes Recipe

I'm a bit sad that the summer heat is on its way, so I will take any chance I get to make a hearty potato-filled dish that I would normally be more inclined to make in the fall or winter months. That's why I grabbed the opportunity to make this easy vegan lentil and rice recipe as soon as I saw the first drops of rain the other day. (It rained again the next day, which I took as a sign that I was supposed to make yet another stick-to-your-ribs meal, but I will blog about that sausage pastry goodness in a coming post.)

This vegan lentil, rice and potato dish takes about an hour to prepare from start to finish, but a lot of that time is just simmering, so you can do other things once you have it on the stove.

This is a great side dish for a vegan Indian food feast, but we generally eat this as a one-dish meal for dinner, and then devour the leftovers for lunch the next day. I highly recommend adding cauliflower, peas and carrots to this recipe for an even tastier meal with higher nutritional value. When I make this just for myself, that is what I do...but when I'm cooking for me and the guy, I leave them out, since I haven't quite convinced him to love a wide variety of vegetables yet. I'm working on it, though!

Vegan Rice, Lentils & Potatoes Recipe

What You Need:

6 cups water

2 cups rice

2 cups red lentils

4 red potatoes

½ of an onion

2 garlic cloves

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cloves


What You Do:

  1. Soak rice and lentils in bowl for 15 to 30 minutes (to shorten cooking time).
  2. Wash, peel and chop potatoes.
  3. Chop onion, and mince garlic cloves.
  4. Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat.
  5. Sauté garlic, onion and spices for about two minutes.
  6. Add potato, and continue to sauté for another five minutes.
  7. Drain rice and lentils. Rinse, add to cooking pot, and sauté for a few more minutes.
  8. Add water and bring to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes (until lentils and rice are cooked, and potatoes are tender).
