I despise Lentils, BUT, this lentil recipe I LIKED a lot. Yet another tasty and healthy diet recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 bell pepper |
1/2 small onion |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley |
1 1/2 cups water |
5 tablespoons of dried red lentils or 5 tablespoons green lentils (i like the red better) |
3 tablespoons of uncooked bulgur wheat |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Chop bell pepper, parsley and onion.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring water and lentils to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat to medium/medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes- COVERED.
4. Stir in bulgur wheat and black pepper.
5. Continue to simmer- UNCOVERED- until lentils are tender and water is absorbed (should take about 10 to 15 minutes).
6. In a skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat and sauté onion and bell pepper until tender (about 4 minutes).
7. Stir onion and pepper into bulgur mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
