This recipe is extremely low maintenance and easy. I''m a university student, and this can be made 20 minutes before heading out the door!
Cook the rice as directed. Set aside.
Spray a frying pan with cooking spray, then sauté the onion and mushrooms with some garlic powder till onions are cooked.
Spray the mix with the cooking spray again and add in the broccoli and eggplant. Sprinkle with allspice, paprika and more garlic! Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until eggplant is cooked.
Add 1/3 cup of water to the mix, and then the lentils. Cook about 5 minutes (until the water is absorbed).
Add in the salsa and the rice. Cook until the liquid is almost all absorbed.
