1 cup brown lentils (picked over and rinsed if needed, lentils that come in a package often don’t need to be rinsed)
1 onion (large, chopped small)
2 tsps minced garlic (or more)
11/8 cups vegetable stock (or broth, canned vegetable broth is fine here)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (fresh)
1/2 tsp oregano (Greek)
1 tsp greek seasoning (You can make your own Greek Seasoning if you don’t have any, or just use the spices in that mix that you do have. I like Greektown Billygoat Seasoning from The Spice House.)
141/2 ozs stewed tomatoes (drained and slightly mashed)
1 green bell pepper (seeds removed and finely chopped)
1 red bell pepper (seeds removed and finely chopped)
