Had to share the recipe for my tea tonight - spiced lentils - I served it with some slow roasted pork, but they are delicious on their own, or with chicken or fish, or even cold as a salad with a poached egg!
Amazing Spiced Lentils
serves 2 with leftovers, free on green and easy:
large red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
small chilli deseeded and chopped
175g puy or green lentils
pinch turmeric
small cinnamon stick
star anise
4 green cardomom pods, crushed, husks discarded
700ml stock
2 chopped tomatoes
handful chopped parsley or coriander
gently 'fry off' the onion, garlic and chilli in frylight for about 10 mins til soft. add the turmeric, cinnamon, star anise and cardomom - stir and cook for 2 mins.
add the lentils and the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 mins until the lentils are just cooked.
add salt (tempers the chilli), maybe a little pepper, stir in the tomatoes and herbs, cook for just a minute or so, serve
