2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 can (14.5 ounce) stewed tomatoes
2 large carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a 3 quart casserole, combine the water and lentils. Season with the bay leaf, salt, pepper, marjoram, sage and thyme. Stir in onions, garlic, and stewed tomatoes.
