Utility Dinner - Rice and Lentils

Everyone has their old faithful. The standby dinner. The meal you make when you cannot spare a single brain cell to ponder options, but you still need to eat.

This is mine.

Rice, Lentils and Peas with Yogurt Sauce.

Cook some basmati rice.
Cook some green lentils in chicken or vegetable stock until tender.
Toss some frozen peas into the drained lentils so they thaw and cook lightly.

Chop some jalapeno pepper (1/2 to 1 pepper) very finely.
Chop a small handful of cilantro.
Mix into a cup or so of plain yogurt. (full fat is better than low fat here. Live a little)
Add some salt, and a little bit of lemon juice.

Toss the lentils, peas, and rice together, and dollop on some sauce.

I love this dish, despite it's complete lack of sophistication.
