Lovely Rice-Lentil Cereal

By chelyc13

Lentils and tomatoes go well together because the slightly acidic nature of the tomato balances the thick flavor of the beans. Just be sure that baby hasn't shown any sign of allergy to tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup white rice
• 1/8 cup lentils
• 1/8 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1 cup water
