    Lentils and rice are so easy and so much better on the stove. I get it if it’s too much hassle, but you’re already going to so much trouble. I tend to cook for a few meals at once, so I’ll do a cup of rice, two chopped up carrots, vegetable bouillon, and all the necessary water, then after that’s cooked for ten minutes, I’ll add the lentils, and cook until they’re done. Check cook times to get the timing right.

    The carrot is there because it makes an enormous difference for lentils- lentils need carrots like pasta needs salt.

        I chop them about as thick as my thumb, just roughly. Carrots can stand the 30-40 minutes of boiling pretty well, so it doesn’t really matter much
