Anleitung

1. 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.

5. 5.Stir in the chopped tomatoes, cooked lentils, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
6. 6.Spoon the lamb and lentil mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
7. 7.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
8. 8.While the peppers are baking, prepare the sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
