We seemed to have somewhat of a vegetarian week last week, culiminating in this delicious, savoury, spicy stew - very healthy, very tasty and packed full of fibre.
Lentils are a massive favourite in our household, and this dish (thrown together in a dash) will definitely be a feature at mealtimes in the future. It's suitable for vegans and filling and flavoursome enough to entice any meateater into vegetarianism.
Buy it:
250g puy or green lentils (dried)
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 tins chopped tomatoes
2tsps cumin
1tbsp paprika
2tbsp Marigold bouillon or 1 vegetable stock cube
1/2tsp cayenne pepper
1/2tsp cinnamon
1tsp thyme
1tsp oregano
1tsp salt
big handful coriander, roughly chopped
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1tbsp vegetable oil
Do it:
1. Saute the peppers and garlic together until soften and set aside.
2. Saute the onions in the same pan until soft and add the rest of the ingredients, plus 2 mugs of water.
3. Bring the mixture to the boil and then simmer for one hour.
4.Serve with brown rice or noodles, or even in tortilla wraps with cheese.
