Lentil Bolognese

No need for soaking with these little nutritional powerhouses. Iron rich, easily cooked red lentils are an important addition to a vegan or vegetarian diet. This very simple recipe is a delicious take on a pasta sauce

Lentil Bolognese

Ramuan untuk 2

bawang, dicincang

half a teaspoon of dried oregano

2 ulas bawang putih, dicincang

a teaspoon of dried chilli

400g yang (14 auns) tin tomato

100g (3 dan 1/2 auns) kacang merah merah

wholewheat spaghetti to serve

minyak zaitun

garam dan lada




Kaedah

Add a splash of oil to a pan and add the chopped onion, sprinkle with salt and sweat on a low heat for ten minutes or until soft but not browned

Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta

Add the half teaspoon of dried oregano, the teaspoon of dried chilli flakes and the chopped garlic and a good grind of black pepper and stir

Cook for another couple of minutes before adding the tin of tomatoes

Add the lentils and just a splash of water and cook on the lowest heat for 10 minit

Put the pasta on to boil for 9 minit (or according to the instructions on the packet)
