1
Cook Lentils
In a large pot, add lentils and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté Vegetables
In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked lentils, tomato sauce, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
4
Blend Dip
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. If desired, you can leave some texture for a chunkier dip.
5
Serve
Transfer the lentil dip to a serving bowl and serve warm with pita bread on the side.
