3. Add squash. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until squash is golden brown on edges.
4. Add broth, oregano & pepper. Increase heat to medium-high & bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in lentils. Cover & simmer 30-35 minutes, or until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
6. Add rice. Cover & simmer 10 minutes, or until rice is tender.
