Cooking method

Cooking time: 45 min

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan. Add finely chopped carrots, onions, garlic and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in 2.5 cups of broth, put the lentils and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for about 15 minutes to make the lentils soft. Mix well all the time. When the lentils are ready, transfer to a large dish.

Meanwhile, boil the remaining 2 cups of broth and bay leaf. When it boils, add the rice and bring it to a boil again. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat until the rice is soft, about 20 minutes (do not stir the rice). Remove the pan from the heat and mix the rice well with a large fork. Transfer the rice to a dish with lentils. Add the chopped olives, parsley, cumin, and lemon zest. Mix everything well and season with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the salad on the table warm.
