Lentils over Rice

Great no-meat recipe that has lots of protein. It says to serve it over brown rice, but white is just fine too.

1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp marjoram leaves
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 cup uncooked lentils
2 8oz cans diced tomatoes
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
6 cups cooked brown rice

In a large pot saute onion and carrots in the olive oil for 3-5 minutes until tender. Add thyme and marjoram and saute for 1 more minute. Add chicken broth, water, lentils, tomatoes, and parsley. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add water if necessary. Serve over rice.

NOTE: I use ground thyme and marjoram cause that's what I have on hand. It works just fine. I also add a palm full of dried parsley if I don't have the fresh stuff.
