Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil; 2 red onions, chopped; 1 (10 ounce) basket cherry tomatoes; 1 red bell pepper, julienned; 4 cups water; 1 cup red lentils; 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice; 4 tablespoons dried basil; 1 ½ teaspoons salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper

Step 2

Add water and red lentils, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until lentils are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Add diced tomatoes with juice, basil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Cook's Note:

Don't reduce the salt--the salt is very important to the flavor of the dish. If you want to add a bit more of basil, salt, or pepper, do so, because when I make it, I admit to eyeballing sometimes.
