INSTANT POT MIDDLE EASTERN LENTILS WITH RICE, LEEKS, AND SPINACH
Steps:
- Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are dark golden at the edges, about 10 minutes.Season with a pinch of salt. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out half the leeks and transfer to a bowl; set aside for the garnish.
- Stir the garlic into the pot and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the cumin, allspice, and cayenne and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the lentils, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, the bay leaf, and cinnamon stick to the pot.
- Lock the lid into place and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
- Uncover the pot and stir in the rice, working quickly so the lentil mixture stays hot. Lock the lid back into place and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Manually release the pressure.
- Uncover and stir in the spinach. Cover the pot with the lid (but don't lock it on) and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to wilt the greens and finish cooking the rice.
- In a small bowl, season the yogurt with salt to taste.
- Discard the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Serve the lentils warm, garnished with the reserved leeks and salted yogurt on top, and drizzled with more olive oil.

MIDDLE EASTERN RICE AND LENTILS
This protein rich dish will add a flavorful accent to broiled or grilled lamb chops or steaks. A combination of cinnamon, cumin, and cloves gives the dish a spicy Middle Eastern taste and aroma. Toss any cold leftovers with a mustard vinaigrette for an easy luncheon salad, or use it to make stuffed peppers!

Steps:
- In a 3-quart saucepan, cook onion in oil till crisp-tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add broth, rice, lentils, potato, carrot, raisins, and seasonings.
- Cook until rice and lentils are almost tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the bell pepper and peas.
- Cover and cook about 5-10 minutes more, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice and lentils are tender.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- I sometimes use this rice to make stuffed peppers.
- I put rice in peppers and pour canned spaghetti sauce (I usually add about 1/8 cup water to this) over, cover and bake about 45 to 60 minutes.
- I also use leftover rice to make veggie burgers.
- Enjoy!
- For Vegetarian/Vegan do not use chicken broth.
