Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cups diced eggplants (2 medium)
  • 2 cups chopped zucchini (2 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (28 oz) Progresso™ whole peeled tomatoes with basil (Italian style), undrained
  • 2 cups cooked lentils

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, onion and garlic in oil about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Stir in remaining ingredients except lentils, breaking up tomatoes; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in lentils; cook until hot.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Dried lentils do not require soaking and cook in a short time compared to other dried beans.
  • tip 2
    No salting needed! Buy eggplants that are medium in size, firm, smooth and not bruised. Overripe and bruised eggplants tend to be bitter and need added salt to reduce the bitter taste.
