Rice Lentil Pilaf

Ingredients:

1 medium-sized sweet potato
1/2 c. brown rice
1/2 c. lentils
1/3 c. orzo
garlic
~2 tsp. margarine
spices to taste

1. Wash lentils and rice, wash and chop sweet potato. Put rice, lentils, garlic, margarine, and sweet potato in a pot with 2 c. water. Bring it to a boil, then turn it down and cover, stirring occasionally.
2. After about 10 minutes, add the orzo and more water.
3. Leave it alone until it's cooked, about another 10 minutes. BUT BE CAREFUL: if you are using a thin bottomed sauce pan (as I was) it is likely to burn as the water cooks off, so be careful and keep an eye on it (like I didn't).
4. Season with salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper, paprika. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Yay. Makes about 5 servings, 150 calories each.
