  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of long-grain rice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk. Mix well.
  5. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
