3 tablespoon Sherry (or water or stock)
1 md Onion, chopped
1 Clove garlic, chopped
1 cup Chopped up mushrooms (make
One fourth to 1/2" pieces)
optional
1 md Carrot, chopped
1 small (~1 lb) eggplant, peeled and

1 cup Lentils
1 cup Texmati brown rice (or

1 8 or 10 ounce can tomato sauce
2 cup Vegie stock
2 cup Water
1 teaspoon Dried basil
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
2 teaspoon Chopped parsley to taste or
More (up to 1/3 cup)

Rice Cooker: Put the sherry or stock into the rice cooker with the sherry
or stock, and turn on the machine. Let the onion saute, as you chop and add
the garlic, mushrooms, carrot, and eggplant. Give the pot a quick stir as
you add each vegie. Add water if the vegetables start to stick, Let the
eggplant cook about a minute or so, then add the lentils, rice, liquids,
basil, and oregano. Cover, let it cook, and allow to stand about 10 minutes
when the cooker shuts off. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Slow Cooker: Saute the vegies lightly, then add everything but parsley to
the crockpot. Cook on low if you want to ignore it all day, or 34 hours on
high. Add parsley and serve.

Stovetop: Saute the vegies, add everything but the parsley, cover and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 4045 minutes, or until liquid is
absorbed. Stir in parsley.
