Wash the green lentils, boil for 16 minutes so they stay firm, and drain.
Dice the onion, cut the zucchini into half moons, and finely chop the garlic.
Turn the onion in olive oil for 4 minutes; when it changes color, add the garlic.
Add the zucchini to the pan and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes, without stirring too much so the pieces do not fall apart.
Add the lentils, salt, and black pepper, cook together for 5 minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not slice the zucchini too thinly; staying firm as it cooks with the lentils improves the flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with garlic yogurt on the side.
