I love a bargain too! Got 8 Portobello 'shrooms for 40p and 3 courgettes for 40p the other day. Gotta love a bargain. The quinoa looks so lovely. I don't shop in Waitrose. It's so pawsh and there isn't one near me. Having said that they have just opened a new store in Preston which isn't far so may have to have a wander over there. They do a few things that I fancied having a look at. Got some of the Apache potatoes today *did anyone hear that warrior cry?*

It is the lentil bolognese recipe from Lentil Bolognese | Slimming Eats - Slimming World Recipes
Ingredients
1 onion, finely chopped - 3 cloves garlic
1 courgette finely chopped - approx 8 button mushrooms,finely chopped - 2 carrots - finely chopped
1 medium sweet potato - cubed 3/4cup of uncooked brown lentils (approx 180gms)
400gms of tinned chopped tomatoes - 300ml of vegetable stock
4 tablespoons of tomato paste - mixed herbs - splash of balsamic vinegar
Spray a large pot with some Frylight spray and add your onion and garlic and fry until softened. Add the courgette, mushrooms and sweet potato and fryfor a further 5 mins. Add a little of the stock to prevent sticking if needed. Add the lentils and mix well. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, mixed herbs and splash of balsamic vinegar
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 hours, the slow cooking really softens the lentils and allows the flavours to develop. It would be great done in a slow cooker too.
Check it a couple of times through cooking time, just in case it looks like too much liquid has been absorbed, as you may need to add a little morestock/water.
I don't have a slow cooker or 2 hours to keep an eye on it so adapted it.
I cook the onion and garlic in the microwave in some water and a crumbled stock cube then put them in a pan with the rest of the ingredients and brought to a boil and simmered until the lentils were cooked - kept adding more stock as required.
I have also made it with ready cooked green lentils - I pressure cook them and then freeze and use as I want them (I do all beans like this as well).
Made it in the morning then re-heated in the evening.

An exciting discovery « Spice and more
This is the site I got the mung beans wraps from. Used whole mung beans and soaked for 2 days (did not have any split ones but these were fine).
Followed instructions but found that 1 cup of mung beans did not make 6-8 dinner plate sized wraps - far from it. Without any added water the mix was a bit thick (as other people found from the comments on there) and was very hard to spread. Added water until I got the right consistency, not too much but enough to slacken off the mix.
I counted 2 syns for the oil I used but that was for the trial and error - brushed the pan with oil as frylite did not work to start with but after I had done a couple tried the Frylite again and it worked ok - must have been the pan being hotter. Now they are completely free.
Left a couple in the fridge in a Lock and Lock box and OH has just tasted them and they are fine.
