Oven Baked Lentils and Brown Rice

Surprisingly delicious and easy, this recipe was discovered at Zonya's health bites. She is from PBS. I've never watched her, but my friend told me about this one, and it's a keeper. Best part is it is sooo easy to make. Second best is it is a good pantry meal. Third, it tasted great. Here is her recipe with my adjustments:

2 small onions chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
About 25 ounces Chicken or Veggie broth
1 3/4 cups water
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups dry lentils, rinsed and picked over for stones
1 cup dry brown rice (not quick cooking)
6 stalks of celery chopped (or however much you want to add)
1 red pepper chopped
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
Fresh ground pepper

Mix all ingredients together in large large baking dish, bake at 350, uncovered, for about 90 mins. Mine cooked faster, so make sure you check it.
