INGREDIENTS
 2 tbsp water (or veg, coconut or avocado oil of choice)
 2 cloves garlic minced (or sub 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil)
 2 small shallots
 4 large carrots (thinly sliced)
 4 stalks celery (thinly sliced)
 pinches each sea salt and black pepper
 3 cups yellow or red baby potatoes (bite-size pieces)
 4 cups cups vegetable broth (more if needed)
 2-3 stalks fresh rosemary and/or thyme
 1 cup uncooked green, red or brown lentils (thoroughly rinsed and drained)
 2 cups chopped sturdy greens (such as kale or collard greens)
 handful parsley and/or a lemon slice flatbread or fresh bread rolls
HOW TO MAKE
1

Use the SLOW COOK, REGULAR, WHITE RICE or SAUTÉ function of your rice cooker to heat water
(or oil), garlic, shallots/onion (optional), carrots, and celery.

2

Sauté for 8-10 minutes or until slightly tender and golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

3

Add potatoes and season with a more salt and pepper. Change the rice cooker function to SOUP then stir and cook for 3-5 minutes more.

4

Add vegetable broth and rosemary or thyme and allow to simmer for 30-40 minutes then add lentils and stir.

5

Cook until lentils and potatoes are tender then switch your rice cooker to KEEP WARM. Add your greens, stir, and close lid and allow 3-4 minutes for them to wilt.

6

Taste and adjust flavour and seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper for overall flavour, vegetable broth if it’s become too thick, or herbs for earthy flavour.

7

Enjoy as is or serve with rice or flatbread/fresh bread rolls. Garnish with a little parsley and/or a slice of lemon to make it pop with freshness.
