Ingredients
- 100g Co-op basmati rice
- 50g red lentils
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2cm ginger, very finely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1.4 litres water
- 2 tbsp ghee or butter
- 50g Co-op British mature Cheddar cheese, grated
Method
- Put the rice and lentils in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 10 mins
- Tip into a sieve and wash under the tap until the water runs clear
- Return the rice and lentils to the pan, then add the onion, ginger, bay leaves and water
- Season well with black pepper, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer
- Cook for 25 mins, stirring occasionally and skimming off any impurities that rise to the top, until the rice and lentils have mostly broken down
- Reduce the heat and whisk for 3-4 mins, until the mixture is more like a soup consistency, adding a little extra water if it becomes too thick
- Add the ghee or butter, if using, and stir through to melt
- Serve topped with grated cheese, if you like
