I love your presentation. You made it very easy to follow and I loved your putting in the end about the animals not being harmed. Nice touch of humor.
I'm definitely going to try this soon. But I prefer brown rice, and since brown rice takes longer to cook, I think after adding the rice, I will have to simmer it longer than 20 minutes (as suggested in this video).
You can definitely use brown rice, but you're right--it will take about double the time to cook, depending on the rice you use and your elevation above sea level. You could either cook it separately and add it to the lentils, or let the rice cook until it's about 20 minutes from being done, then add the lentils, stir and continue cooking.
Yeah, using brown rice would take longer to cook. You can try adding it with the lentils for a longer cooking time. When I cook wild and white rice, I cook them separately and combine them later in the dish. I find that to be easier to manage. But if you have a good understanding of how long to cook your brown rice and the water it needs, you should be able to insert it into the right place in the recipe. This one is pretty forgiving.
Most of the time I have used brown lentils. Some will mush up, but enough remain whole to give it a good texture. I once used red lentils, but they mushed up completely and became a coating on the rice. If you are not sure how different lentils will cook, I suggest visiting an Indian grocery and asking about the different types of lentils they stock.
I don't see why it couldn't freeze well. But I've never had enough left over to freeze. If I'm not careful, there's not even any left over for lunch the next day!

The music I use is always listed at the end of the video.
In this case, it is the song "Eli Eli" by the late Ofra Haza on her "Yemenite Love" album.

I added the brown rice with the lentils as you said. It was good. I used too much water though.

What's better to use for this dish, green or brown lentils? I've read that brown lentils get mushy quickly.

Thank you. Looks really delicious; excellent bodybuilding food, which I'm looking for. I wonder if I can keep this in the freezer in portions?
