In reply to Lynn. No since you don't need it to cook the lentils and the rice. I would use maybe 1/2-1 cup to allow the fruit to soften.

I used canned lentils and cooked the brown rice separately. Do I still add 4 cups of broth?

I made this yesterday and my 13 month old devoured it! I topped it with plain yogurt and mixed in raisins only. It was so easy and tasty. Thank you!

14th month old had 2 portions! I used lentils from a can and basmati rice so it only took 10-15 mins to cook. I’m not a fan of lentils personally but thanks to the raisins (which I added at the beginning of the cooking so they’re more plump, together with the spices) I actually liked it. Added some crumbled feta cheese, delish.

Turned out delicious! We used low sodium vegetable broth, green lentils, raisin, cranberries and topped with toasted pine nuts and Greek yogurt. We also used long grain brown rice which ended up taking ~15 minutes longer to cook than the lentils. We also used an additional half cup of water. Thank you!

In reply to Cindy Rumlow. I would think so but I'm not 100% sure if cranberry beans and lentils cook in exactly the same amount of time. Sounds yummy though!

This sounds close to where I’m going but I need almost a course on Insta Pot and Vegetarian.
I want to cook cranberry beans, lentils, spit, carrots, a little garlic and ginger to have as an “add-in” to red quinoa, farro, brown rice and salmon. Ultimate goal- super packed, nutritiously and protein dense meal.
Can I cook the first 1/2 as your recipe to add to my 1/2?
I don’t eat rich or spicy food (GERD) and prefer eating the same thing on a regular baso.
Thanks for your help!
Wishing you wellness and good health ?
Cindy

In reply to Merry Pearl. You can use either grain size, though the cooking time may vary a bit and the final texture may too. Both can be delicious though.
