Making vegan lentil bolognese.

Making vegan lentil bolognese.

-sauté diced onion, crushed garlic and dried oregano in olive oil. 

-sprinkle in some smoked paprika, a pinch of dried chilli and a good squeeze of tomato purée. I also like to add a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar. 

-throw in your cooked lentils of choice- I used put lentils here-along with two tins of chopped tomatoes. 

-bring to the boil then turn down and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

-I also added some chopped green beans but you could leave them out or add different green veggies. Sometimes I add spinach, garden peas, diced carrots or sweetcorn. Season to taste -serve mixed with cooked wholemeal pasta of your choice and sprinkled with torn fresh basil 🌿

You can add grated Parmesan cheese or a vegan alternative, as preferred.

Enjoy!
