Directions:
Place lentils in a small pot and cover with approximately 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, then immediately cover and reduce heat to light simmer. Cook approximately 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain if water remains and set aside.
In a large saute pan, add olive oil, onion, carrot and celery. Cook approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the green pepper and continue to cook another 5 minutes until onion starts to become translucent.
Add garlic and remaining ingredients, including the lentils. Stir and season more to taste.
