Directions Lentils with Zucchini and Rice
Directions
-
Bring water, lentils, brown rice, and bouillon to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add bay leaf, cover, and cook until lentils and brown rice are tender, about 45 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until onion is starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir the zucchini-onion mixture into the lentils and rice. Add tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, rosemary, oregano, and salt. Return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors meld, about 10 minutes.
