Directions
Step 1
Rinse rice and lentils, drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pan, add onion and garlic, cooking for several minutes until tender. Add cumin and lemon rind, cooking a further minute.

Stir in rice, lentils and stock, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes, partially covered. Add zucchini, peas, olives and parsley to the rice mix and cook a further 5-8 minutes until rice and lentils are tender.
