This is a high-fiber, low-fat meal that's perfect for vegetarians. It's also high in folic acid so it's good if you're pregnant. Oh, and it's pretty tasty too!

    I left out the green pepper and used slightly less pepper flakes. This is very easy to make and I like that the ingredients are things that I commonly have in my kitchen. Very tasty! Great recipe!

    Had to improvise a little, used fresh tomatoes and uncooked lentils but still worked out fine. Really enjoyed this, added a little vegetable stock powder. Will be keeping this recipe.
