Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for twenty minutes. Add a splash of soy sauce and a dash of chili powder and black pepper to the lentils at this stage. Stir lentils occassionally throughout cooking to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Meanwhile, prepare your onion, garlic, and bell pepper. For a spicy option you could add in a green chile or jalapeño as well.
After the lentils have cooked for 10 minutes, heat a large skillet on high with the olive oil.
Once hot, begin sautéeing the onion, garlic, and bell pepper, for about 5 minutes or until translucent.
Next, add in the seasonings and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the lentils are fully cooked.
Once the lentils are cooked, add them into the tomato & veggie mix. Stir together well. Simmer together for another 5-10 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
