Place lentil in a bowl, covering with some hot water. Allow to soak for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wash the rice. Place it in a cooking pan with little bit of water, so to cover the rice 1cm. Put to a boil. Allow to boil for few minutes and then simmer until water evaporates. Drain the rice and put on a side.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. From time to time soak your hands in water, because the mixture could be sticky. You can use an ice cream scoop.
Arrange the balls in the try and slightly flatten. Generously brash the balls with some olive oil and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
