Cuisine: Southern
Ingredients: ½ cup long-grain white rice; ½ cup dried black beans; ½ cup dried kidney beans; ½ cup dried green lentils; 1 tablespoon dried minced onion; 2 teaspoons dried parsley; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 bay leaf; Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

To create beautiful layers in the jar, start with the long-grain white rice as the bottom layer. This will ensure a sturdy base for the rest of the ingredients.
Next, add the dried black beans, followed by the dried kidney beans. Gently tap the jar on a flat surface between each layer to level them and create distinct layers.
Continue layering with the dried green lentils, creating a colorful contrast against the darker beans in the jar.
Sprinkle the dried minced onion on top of the lentils, followed by the dried parsley for a touch of freshness.
Combine the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Carefully pour the spice blend over the herbs in the jar, making sure to cover the surface evenly to create a vibrant top layer.
Place a bay leaf on top of the spice blend, adding a decorative touch and infusing the mix with aromatic flavors.
Seal the jar tightly and attach a label with the following cooking instructions: "To prepare, combine the contents of the jar with 6 cups of vegetable broth in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the beans and lentils are tender. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy a taste of Louisiana with this flavorful Jambalaya Mix!"
