Lentil, Wild Rice, and Sun-dried Tomato Stew

I made up this recipe based on a meal that our camp chef cooked in the Boundary Waters. Yep, you can make this while camping. :) I'm going to give you the crockpot version of this recipe but you can easily adapt it to camping by pre-soaking the lentils and wild rice in a water bottle for the day. Pre-soaking isn't strictly necessary for lentils but will save you on camp fuel.

Lentil, Wild Rice, and Sun-dried Tomato Stew

1 cup dried lentils
1 cup wild rice (brown rice will also work)
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1.5 teaspoons oregano
1 quart stewed tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups water or chicken stock

Put all ingredients in the crockpot. Cook on low for about 6 hours.
