Stuffed Tomato's or Peppers

  •  3 Cups Cooked Lentils ( 1 1/4 Cup Dry)
  • 1 Cup Cooked Rice
  • 1 Medium Onion, minced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika (smoked or regular)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Allspice ( I actually used Cumin cause I'm in love )

 I suppose you don't have to stuff it in a tomato and you could use a pepper or zucchini, whatever you prefer but something that can be hallowed out and stuffed basically and holds well in the oven 

You simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and stuff the "tomato" (cutting off a little at the bottom of the tomato helps it sit upright better)

I stuffed a few at a time and put them in a bread pan so it would sit well and if it did tip then it wouldn't be horrible. Any temperature works just gotta keep an eye on it and cook it till your satisfied. 

You can add some vegan cheese on top if you want a cheesy treat
