Yield: 8 Servings

Measure	Ingredient
2 cups	Mung beans
2 cups	Brown rice
10 cups	Water
2 tablespoons	Oil
2	Stalks celery; chopped
1	Carrots; chopped
2	Onions; chopped
1	Bell peppers; chopped
4	Cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon	Coriander
1¼ teaspoon	Turmeric
1 teaspoon	Ground cumin
1 teaspoon	Celery seed
1 teaspoon	Mustard powder
⅔ cup	Low sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon	Black pepper
¼ teaspoon	Cayenne
4 ounces	Monterey jack cheese; shredded OR cheddar, brick, etc.

Wash the beans and rice. Combine with water in a saucepan and cook for 45 minutes - beans will begin to pop.

Meanwhile saute the vegetables in the oil until tender.

Add the spices to the vegetables and simmer until the beans are done.

Combine the vegetables and the beans and cook 15 minutes.

Place in a dish and melt the cheese over the top.

Serve hot.

NOTES : This is the original recipe from the Golden Temple of Conscious Cookery in Washingotn, D.C. It makes a large amount, so the recipe can be halved, or even quartered and it still works out well. I like more vegetables than the original calls for, so I usually double the amount there.
