Step 1

Heat a medium pot to medium heat and diced jalapeno, garlic slices, 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika, ½ tsp. red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. ground black pepper and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir everything together and saute for 2 minutes until the jalapeno softens a bit.

Step 2

Mix in the tomato paste and add 4 cups of the vegetable broth or water and the lentils.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a slow simmer and cover. Cook the lentils until they are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (20-25 minutes). Check periodically and add more liquid if needed.

Step 4

Taste and add salt or more smoked paprika or chili flakes if desired.

Step 5

Serve with pasta, rice noodles, rice, bulgur, or quinoa if desired.

Step 6

Garnish with chopped cilantro, parsley, or lemon wedges.
