Preparation

  3. Add lentils and red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper is starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, tagine seasoning and cook, stirring, until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, and sugar.
  6. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and thickened and the lentils are tender, about 50 minutes.
  7. Stir fresh parsley through and serve.
