Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
- 2.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for one minute to deepen the flavors.
- 4.Remove the skillet from the heat. Fold in the cooked lentils, chopped walnuts, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.

- 6.Drizzle the stuffed peppers with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Pour a small amount of water (about 60ml) into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam.
- 7.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top. Serve warm.
