1. Cook lentils according to package directions. Meanwhile, Add olive oil and heat pan to medium high heat.
2. Add vegetables and sauté until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add seasonings and continue to cook, stirring constantly.
3. Add tomatoes, lentils, and black beans. If you don’t want to cook your lentils beforehand, you can add the package necessitated water or vegetable broth to the pan and cook according to package directions.
4. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then remove cover and cook for 10 minutes more.
