Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse and season the lentils, then saute them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.
Add the corn kernels, celery and collard greens, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the hot sauce, brown sugar and smoked paprika for a final minute.
Cook the white rice separately and fluff with a fork.
Let the lentils simmer for about 12 minutes so the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot over the white rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
