Instructions
Cook the Lentils
Combine red lentils and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Season the Mixture
Stir in smoked paprika and ground cumin. Add the drained black beans and stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
Warm the Rice
Heat the cooked brown rice in a separate pan or microwave until warmed through. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Assemble and Serve
Divide brown rice between four bowls, then top generously with the smoky lentil and black bean mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy.
