Directions
Adapted this from a Moosewood cookbook. I didn't have apricots, so I substituted golden raisins instead. Will try it again with the apricots.
Rinse the lentils cover them with water and bring them to a boil. Reduce heat. At this point, I added everything but the rice & parsley and cooked until done. In the meantime, I cooked the rice in the microwave (2 cups water to 1 cup rice) and stirred it into the lentils with the parsley.
