Simple and easy main dish or side. This makes a nice base for a meal instead of potatoes or plain rice, or stands on its own. Top with cooked chicken after it's done for a simple, high-protein meal. Add more barley for a better glycemic index.

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 1 cup brown lentils
  • 1 cup pearled barley
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chicken stock concentrate , such as Better than Bouillon®
  • water as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse rice, lentils, and barley thoroughly and mix in a rice cooker pot; add olive oil, garlic, and stock concentrate and stir.

  2. 2

    Pour enough water over the mixture to reach the 4 1/2-cup mark on the rice cooker.

  3. 3

    Press Start and let cook until the rice and lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
