About 10 minutes before the lentils are done, heat a separate medium size- sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper in the oil for about 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute more.

Turn off the heat and let the pot sit for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors can meld, or go ahead and eat immediately if you can’t wait. We like to serve these open faced, a scoop of snobby joe on each slice of bun
