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.
