If you have any extra filling, it freezes really well.

If you don’t have a blender, just cut the onions and garlic into small pieces and stir all the sauce ingredients together.

If you want, you can make this on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Just simmer or cook until the rice and lentils are soft. It took me two or three rounds in the rice cooker to get the brown rice cooked, so if you want it to be done faster, I’d use white rice.

For more spice, add a jalapeño or a chipotle pepper to the sauce! I did that a few times. Yummy.
