Notes

Serve this dish hot or cold. Lentil Stuffed Peppers can be enjoyed alone, with a side salad or a side of vegetables, pasta, or accompanying chicken or fish. I love to use my Dad and Mom’s Pasta Sauce with this recipe (https://maryannridinispencer.com/dads-and-moms-pasta-sauce). However, you can use your favorite store-bought marinara.
