Ingredients

BBQ Red Lentils

1 cup Split red Lentil
½ Yellow Onion Sliced Thinly
1 cup Button Mushrooms Cut into Quarters
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cup BBQ Sauce
1 tsp Cumin Ground
½ tsp Red Chili Flakes

Bell Peppers

2 Bell Pepper

Dill Panko Bread Crumb

½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
2 Tbsp Dill Fresh Chopped

Instructions

BBQ Red Lentils Method

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Rinse the red lentils, bring a pot of water to a boil, place the lentils into the water cooking for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the lentils under cold water.
Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil add the sliced yellow onions, cook until a golden brown, season with salt and pepper. Remove the onions from the pan, add the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan, add the cut mushrooms, cook until the mushrooms are a beautiful light brown, you do not want to overcook the mushrooms, the mushrooms should still have a meaty texture. Add the onions to the mushrooms along with the red chili flakes and the cumin, stir to combine, lightly toast the spices. Add cooked lentils and the BBQ sauce over low heat. Mix to incorporate the sauce, cooking for 5 minutes, enough for the sauce to reduce a bit.
Cut the bell peppers lengthwise, the best way to accomplish this is to take a sharp chef's knife and cut through the stem straight down the pepper. Once cut, remove the seeds and some of the rib meat if it seems like a lot. Place the BBQ red lentils into the Pepper and cover with a generous about of the panko dill bread crumbs. Cook in oven for 30-40 minutes.

Dill Panko Bread Crumbs

Gently melt the butter, add the chopped dill to the panko bread crumbs along with the melted butter, just the seasoning with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
