I’ve been trying to eat more meatless meals, so I experimented with this hearty saute and served it over brown rice.

I liked this meal. I am always looking for simple vegetarian options and red lentils are a staple in our pantry. Modifications - I added one clove of garlic instead of 3, the artichokes we had were marinated. I also did not have straight oregano, so used the Italian seasoning on the lentils and it gave them really good flavor! Depends on who's eating - I would say this is 2 servings. My husband is a big eater and just the 2 of us finished this no problem. I bookmarked and will make it again!
