Cajun Lentil Stir-Fry

I made this earlier today but I messed it up. I thought one cup of uncooked rice equaled two cups of cooked, but found out that it's closer to 1:3. 

So I was over-riced, but...liked it plenty anyway. I ended up sprinkling more of the Cajun spice blend at the end, giving it an extra toss, and being generous with the lemon juice. No problem. Laissez les bons temps rouler!! 

2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large red pepper, thinly sliced
1 small onion, chopped small
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning
1 can of lentils (540 ml), drained. 
2 cups of cooked brown rice
1 zucchini, diced
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons of lemon juice


- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

- Add the red peppers, onion, garlic, and Cajun seasoning and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Add the lentils and cook for 2 minutes

- Add the cooked brown rice, zucchini, and parsley and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.  

- Add the lemon juice and serve!
