1/2 c crimini mushrooms, diced
1/2 c sweet red pepper, diced
1/2 ts chopped chipotle in adobo (or to taste)

Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat for
a minute or two until vegetables are just beginning to soften. Add
the tomatillos, mushrooms, red pepper, chipotle, fennel seed,
cardamon and cinnamon and saute until vegetables are crisp tender,
about 4 minutes. Add apples and tomatoes and saute one minute
longer. Add lentils and warm through. Serve garnished with a
sprinkling of chopped mint and fried bananas, if desired.
