Preparation
Step 1
Heat a heavy saucepot with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic; sun dried tomatoes, onion, parley and hot pepper. Sauté until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the ketchup, lentils, salt, water plus the Vegeta and simmer on a low heat, until the lentils are tender and the water is absorbed; approximately 30 minutes. If more water is needed add a quarter of a cup at a time.
