Lentils, Cod, Brown Rice

Lentil, Cod, Brown Rice

Serves 2

1/2 pound cod, cut into fat chunks

2 cloves garlic, diced

Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes & coriander, ground and to taste

2 teaspoons of olive oil

1/2 cup lentils, French green

1 1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 clove garlic diced

1/2 cup brown rice

1 cup vegetable broth

1.      Bring broth to boil in a 2 qt pot before adding lentils & garlic, stir, cover and simmer.

2.      If you have a rice cooker, use that for the rice. If not, bring broth to boil add rice, cover and simmer.

3.      Both the rice and lentils will take around forty to forty-five minutes to be finished.

4.      At thirty-five minutes in, prep the cod chunks by dousing with oil and rubbing with spices and garlic.

5.      Place a small skillet on the stove, turn heat to medium-high, add cod and wait four minutes before turning. Wait another three minutes before removing from heat.

6.      Layer lentils over rice. Then place cod on top.

Side note: The green is roasted seaweed I bought earlier in the day. I placed that on the floor of the bowl before adding the rice. I thought it would add a nice crunch. It became soggy. 

Motions part 01 of 02

I couldn't fall asleep. My brothers birthday was yesterday and I miss him. So this is what flowed from my mind. The second part will be posted later... more the likely, much later.

I see it coming

Days, weeks in advance

A smile is still there

Doesn’t reach high enough

His eyes are dim.

Though, not all the time.

I notice new markings

A scar on his shoulder

Showing the world his love of our mother.

In trouble again.

I’m not surprised.

Men in uniforms tell us of his location.

I refuse to visit.
