Ingredients

1 cup yellow lentils or split peas

3 cups water

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp vegetable oil

2 cups chopped yellow onion

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2–3 tsp Garam Masala

fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Wash lentils and leave to soak in water for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse and place in a medium saucepan with water, salt and 1/2 cup of the onion.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender, about 45–50 minutes.
While lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the remaining onion with garlic, red peppers and garam masala over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, and just beginning to brown, about 10–15 minutes.
Add the onion mixture to the cooked peas, stirring to combine.
Simmer 10 to 15 minutes to blend flavors.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
(Options: Add additional chopped veggies such as spinach, or cauliflower.)
