Help with dinner

[harvestl]

Hello! I am in quite a bind with dinner. I haven't actually cooked in at least a month, and my body can definitely tell. However, I now have some time to start cooking dinner again, but I have no clue what to do

Here's the link to the Veganomicon recipe which includes tomato paste: http://www.theppk.com/2009/11/snobby-joes/

She uses green lentils but I think red would be fine.

I love that recipe but I think the red lentils would break down too easily, since they're smaller and more tender. As I recall the lentils were supposed to stay on the chewy side after cooking.

Hmm, someone in the comments said they used red lentils and had no issue. Maybe don't cook them as long or use less liquid?

That could work. It's worth a try--it's not as if red lentils will ever be inedible unless you actually burn them or forget them in the back of your fridge for weeks.
