Servings: persons

2 3/4 cups water
3 cubes vegetable bouillon
1 1/2 cups brown rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cups dry brown lentils
6 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, grated and divided
3/4 cup bread crumbs

1
In a saucepan, bring water and bouillon cubes to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 50 minutes, or until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed.
2
Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and onion until tender, but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, lentils, and about 6 cups water gradually. Bring to a soft boil, and continue cooking until lentils are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, adding water as needed.
3
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4
Mix the cooked rice together with the lentils, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 of the Cheddar cheese, and transfer mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Mix remaining cheese together with the breadcrumbs, and spread evenly over the top of the dish.
5
Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
