can't cook lentils with rice

I went to the gym this evening - I usually go in the morning, but with the power outage I hadn't been since Wednesday. When I got home, I decided to make myself something healthy, so I decided on brown rice and lentils. It seemed that both required about 45 minutes of cooking, so I set them to boiling. When I checked on them, after about 30 minutes, I found that the rice was well cooked but that the lentils had turned to goo. I guess I'll have to go back to cooking them seperately. Which is a shame, because by cooking them in one pot all I'd need to do was to drain them, add some hot sauce, and eat.
