We found this recipe a little bland at first but with a tablespoon or so of broth powder and a bit of lemon juice it turned out delish!

Directions
1. Saute finely chopped onions with oil for 5 minutes of medium heat

2. Add chopped carrots and 1 cups of hot water and bring to a boil

3. Add chopped potatoes and another 1 cups of hot water.

4. Add rice and lentils and another 1 cups of hot water and stir steadily.

5. Add chopped tomato, pepper and the remaining 2 cups of water. Cover and cook over low heat approximately 30 minutes (45-60 minutes will bring out the flavours a little more) until ingredients are tender. Stir occasionally.

6. Before removing from heat, add mint.
