- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1-2 carrots, chopped
- 1 red pepper
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 60g dry green lentils
- 400g can of chopped tomatoes
- 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 125ml water + 1/2 veg stock cube
- 1 stick celery, chopped
- dried mixed herbs (or oregano and thyme)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- salt & pepper, to taste
- tahini, to serve
Preparation
Sauté the onion and garlic for 5-10 mins
Add the carrots, celery and pepper, cook for 5-10 more mins
Add the dried lentils, chopped and cherry tomatoes, tomato purée, herbs and veg stock - cook for 30-35 mins on a low heat until sauce thickens
In the last 3 mins add in the frozen peas
HIGHLY recommend serving with a drizzle of tahini, just trust me x
I served mine with quinoa cooked in the rest of the veg stock cube ( THIS IS LIFE CHANGING GO DO IT ), broccoli and ofc the tahini
