Ingredients

• 1 cup Split Red Lentils, uncooked
• 2 cups Water
• 1 Red Pepper
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• 2 tsp. Cumin
• 1 tsp. Paprika
• Salt and Pepper
• Hot Sauce (optional)

Directions

• Set your oven to broil and move oven rack to the top position. Cut red pepper into halves, remove ribs and seeds, and lay out on a baking sheet skin side up. You want the peppers to lay as flat as possible so you may need to break them to lay flat. Allow peppers to broil for 5-7 minutes or until the skins get bubbly, while keeping an eye on them. The skins may char and thats ok. Its better if they are over charred than undercooked. Allow the peppers to cool and peel off the skins. If there are spots where the skins wont come off you can trim them off, just make sure to leave as much pepper as possible. Meanwhile, rinse lentils in a strainer and combine with water in a pot over medium heat; cook until lentils become tender (5-7 minutes). Near the end of cooking add a pinch of salt.* Once lentils and red peppers are cooled add them to a food processor along with garlic, paprika, cumin, a pinch of salt and pepper, and hot sauce if youre using. Process until smooth and serve with your favourite veggies and crackers.
