1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil

1 yellow onion (diced)

½ red bell pepper (diced)

1 clove garlic (minced)

1½ tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon oregano

Fremgangsmåte

Combine lentils and 2 cups water in a large saucepan. Cover and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until lentils are tender. Drain excess water and set aside.

While lentils cook, heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté until softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

Add chili powder, oregano, salt, tomato sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup, mustard and cooked lentils. Mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl, garnish with optional minced herbs and serve with tortilla chips and whole grain crackers.
