Rinse the lentils, cover them generously with water in a medium pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Don’t let them get mushy.

Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, sauté the onions and garlic over medium heat until soft. Add the spices and sauté another minute.

Add the tomatoes, broth, and tomato paste and simmer 15 minutes.

Add the peas and taste for salt. Simmer for 10 minutes more.
