Red Lentil and Pepper Dip

What you’ll need:
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup red lentil, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper, to taste

What to do:
1. In a skillet, soften the bell peppers and garlic in oil. Add the salt and pepper and then the chicken stock, lentils and lemon juice. Bring to boil. Cover and let simmer about 15 minutes or until the lentils are tender.

2. Transfer the lentil mixture to your favorite food processor and reduce it to a creamy puree. Adjust the seasoning to your liking (I’m a salt freak, so I tend to use a little more salt). Let it cool then cover and refrigerate until cold.

3. Serve as a dip with baked pita chips, blue corn chips, veggies, or as a garnish for sandwiches. This recipe for Red Lentil and Pepper Dip makes about 1 3/4 cups.

Enjoy!
