Two Vegemeble Pilafs

Yo, Lucy here again with a vegemeble pilaf. I'm not really sure what a pilaf is but it seemed to me to be just like a vegetable fried rice.

This tasted quite plain. As in tasteless. We give this 10/20. We recommend adding loads of soy sauce to this. Maybe some egg too.

Onto the ingredients:
2 Tbsp Oil
1/2 a Red onion (finely chopped)
2 Celery sticks (quartered lengthways and diced)
1 Carrot (coarsely grated)
2 Spring Onions (chopped)
20g Almonds (sliced lengthways)
Enough coooked rice for two people
75g lentils (cooked - we used green ones but the original recipe asks for red ones)
100ml vegetable stock (we like to use our favourite BOUILLION)
2 and a half tbsp of orange juice
salt and pepper

Method:
1. Heat oil in pan, add onion and cook til softened over medium heat
2. Add celery, carrots, spring onions and almonds stir-fry until veg are al dente. Transfer this to another bowl and put aside for a mo.
3. Whack more oil in the pan and stir in rice and lentils. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 mins, reduce heat, add stock and orange juice. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Return veg to pan and toss with rice for a bit til its all heated through. DONE.
