How To Make labor day lentil~pepper relish

  • 1
    I do the quick soak cook lentils according to directions but instead of using water I use stock. For this recipe I use vegetable stock.
  • 2
    In a frying pan soften onions, garlic and peppers in olive oil with salt and pepper. I also use these peppers and onions for toppings.
  • 3
    When peppers and onions softened add can of petite chopped tomatoes, lentils and spices let simmer for a few minutes. Great hot or cold. Favorite way to eat is on top of a hot dog in place of chili. I also top salads cold! Next will use for nachos!
