Prepare the Black Lentils
Rinse the black lentils under cold water. In a pot, add lentils and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add Fresno peppers and garlic, cooking until soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Blend with sesame seeds and salt until smooth.
