Go Red is yet another variation on Hoppin’ John.

1-1/4 cups raw, long-grain brown rice

1-1/2 cups raw red lentils

1 cup coarsely chopped celery

1 cup coarsely chopped yellow onion

scallions, chopped

15 oz can diced tomatoes, well drained

1/2 cup coarsely chopped red bell pepper

1-1/2 oz grated Münster cheese

1/4 cup plain, low fat yogurt

freshly ground white pepper and salt, to taste

Cook the rice; set aside.

Cook the lentils and celery together until they’re tender. (Note: these lentils cook very quickly; and need no pre-soaking).

Drain the lentils; stir in the cheese and let it melt. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper. Mix in the tomatoes; onion and scallions; and bell pepper. Stir in the rice.

Makes about 12 cups.
