3 cup hot stock
2 cup quartered mushrooms
1 cup rice (white or brown)
1/2 cup green lentils
1 tablespoon minced gingerroot

2 cloves garlic -- minced
In heavy skillet, melt butter over med. heat. Cook onions over low heat, stirring occasionally for 25 mins, or until very tender and lightly browned. Meanwhile, in saucepan, stir together stock, mushrooms, rice, lentils, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon and garlic. Bring to a boil. Cover, and let simmer for 25/45 mins (25 - white rice/45 - brown rice) until rice and lentils tender, and liquid is absorbed. Top each serving with onions. Makes 4 small main dish servings - 2 hungry veggie main dish servings. The timing is somewhat approximate.
