Main Ingredients

  • 4 bell peppers tops cut off and seeds removed
  • 1 cup dry lentils rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Stuff each bell pepper with the lentil mixture and place them in a baking dish.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
