Cook the Quinoa
In general, the ratio to cook quinoa is 1:2.5 and takes about 15 minutes. Don't forget to add some vegetable stock for taste, and meanwhile cook the lentils.

Cook the Lentils
I used green lentils for this dish, but black lentils would be even better, since they are richer in protein.
Use 3 times the amount of water and boil them for 20-30 minutes. Add onion, garlic and vegetable stock. If you like you can add thyme and bay leaf for taste.

Add a little of olive oil to a pan and sauté the onion and garlic. When golden, add the zucchini, bell pepper, vegetable stock, black pepper, cumin and paprika powder. Put a lid on and let simmer for ±15 minutes.
