Balsamic Lentil Saute

1 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch collard greens, rinsed and chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups cooked lentils
2 Tbs balsamic glaze
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1) In a large saute pan, heat the garlic in the olive oil, over medium heat. Add collard greens and bell pepper and cook until greens begin to wilt.
2) Add the lentils and heat for another two minutes. Mix in the balsamic glaze and parsley.
3) Can be served over cooked rice.

Review: I didn't serve mine over cooked rice, because I had so much food. My measurements must have been off. The trick to this recipe is using the balsamic glaze (bought at Trader Joe's) and lentils that are precooked (often found in the produce section). This was really tasty and incredibly filling. Balsamic glaze may be my new favorite add-in!! It's like a balsamic reduction, sweet and thick, but prepackaged in a bottle.
