Instructions: Wash the (brown) lentils and set aside to drain.

Heat deep pot and coat with oil. Saute the "Finely chopped vegetables"

over medium heat until soft. Mix in the lentils and stir in the additions.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 50 to 60 minutes stirring occasionally until lentils are soft. Serve with bread or warmed flour tortillas.

REVIEW: Tomatoes dominate: a Bob Pleaser! Not very spicy: serve with hot sauce or a hot salsa or dab of hot and chunky guacamole. We used canned mixed green chilies (Anaheim and jalapeno) that come preroasted. You could dry-pan roast your own the way you would bell peppers.

NOTES : TRIED - The texture of this was much like Progressos Lentil; the taste was tomato-ful. You could easily add oregano to this or serve with a salsa to brighten.
