Instructions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.

Add the onion, peppers, garlic, salt and pepper and fry for 5 minutes, until the onion starts to soften.

Add the lentils and stock. Stir together and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes, until the lentils are tender.

Turn off the heat and stir through the crème fraiche. If you'd like a smooth sauce, carefully blend, using a hand blender.
