Simple veggie rice for toddlers (and adults too)

This one is so so simple I'm not sure it counts as a recipe. This is a huge hit with my eldest who loves rice and it's an easy way to get a balanced meal into him. These quantities serve 2 toddlers but it's easy to make this for more or for adults (my husband likes this one for his work lunchbox and I frequently ate it as a poor student!).

In a saucepan of boiling water add a small handful of basmati or brown rice, and the same of red lentils. Add 1 carrot, sliced and 1/3 cup of broccoli florets (cauliflower is a nice change or any other veggies that you have in the fridge). Stir in 1/2 low sodium stock cube (chicken or veggie) and simmer until the rice is soft and the lentils and veg are cooked.

Nice on its own or with scrambled egg mixed through!
