1 medium carrot, sliced (1/2 cup)
1 small onion, coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
3/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans (14 oz each) vegetable broth
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin bite-size strips

Steps:

In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add lentils, carrot and onion; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add barley, basil, pepper and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 20 minutes or until lentils are tender but still firm.
Stir in remaining ingredients except cheese. Increase heat to medium. Cover; simmer 10 to 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until lentils and vegetables are tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Garnish individual servings with cheese.
