Warm black lentils and tomato

From Nutrition Action.

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks good.  I don't usually like capers but I think it may be helpful to boost the taste in this dish.  Seems like it would go well with fish, or ?main dish for vegetarian meal.

1/1/19 update - it was ok but better the next day with a splash of white balsamic vinegar.  Easy enough overall!

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
3 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2 cups cooked black lentils
1 Tbsp capers
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions:
1) Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering hot.  Saute the garlic and red pepper until fragrant, 30 - 60 seconds.
2) Stir in the tomatoes and simmer until softened, 2-3 minutes.
3) Stir in the lentils, capers and salt.
