Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut the broccoli into florets and the stem into half-moons, add to a roasting tin and toss with half the oil and cumin; season. Roast for 10 mins, add the green beans then roast for another 10 mins or until beginning to char.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large, lidded saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 12-15 mins, stirring often, until beginning to brown and crisp around the edges. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Add the remaining cumin to the empty pan and toast over a medium heat for 2 mins or until fragrant; tip into a bowl. Add the rice to the pan and cook to pack instructions.
- Mix the yogurt with the lemon zest and juice and garlic in a small bowl; season. Stir the lentils and toasted cumin into the cooked rice, then top with the charred veg and onion and serve with the yogurt and lemon wedges to squeeze over.
