Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup dried red lentils
14 oz diced tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
paprika pita chips (see paprika pita chips)

Directions:

In a saucepan, heat oil at medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper and cook, while stirring, for about 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Add lentils and tomatoes. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until lentils are tender without losing their shape. Add lemon juice and stir. Let cool a little bit. (You can prepare the lentil filling in advance and put in an hermetic container. It will be good in fridge up to 2 days. Reheat before doing the remaining steps). Add cilantro and stir.
When ready to serve, spread the filling on the pita chips.
