Stewed lentils
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Personally, I prefer lentils over peas. They don't fall apart as much in the pot and don't become sticky, especially if cooked properly. I'm also suggesting a complete, well-rounded dish, since we'll be adding bell peppers and tomatoes. Although, it's better served as a side dish alongside meat. The finished dish can now be served.

Peel the garlic and separate it into cloves. Add the cloves without chopping. Pour in boiled water so that it completely covers the ingredients.

Finely chop the herbs and add them to the pan as well. Cover everything with a lid and simmer for 25 minutes. Season with salt 3 minutes before cooking is done, then serve.
