- In a medium saucepan with a tight fitting lid, combine rice, lentils, water, and salt. Bring everything to a full boil then lower heat, just enough to maintain a slow, steady simmer. Continue cooking until rice and lentils are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Turn off heat, let stand for a few minutes, and you are ready to serve and share.
Variation: You can add any fresh or dried herbs you like to this dish. Rosemary, thyme and tarragon all work well.
