Directions

1. Place lentils in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender (25-30 minutes). Drain and set aside.

3. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and tomatoes to pan and saute until onion is translucent (5-6 minutes). Stir in lentils, edamame, and remaining ingredients. Cook until thoroughly heated, stirring often (3-5 minutes).
