Method

  1. 1

    Rinse the lentils well.

  2. 2

    Fry the onion and garlic in a splash of oil for 3–4 minutes until softening.

  3. 3

    Stir in the paprika, ginger, cinnamon and chilli flakes, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Add the lentils, chopped tomatoes and 300ml water, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the stew has thickened.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves ¾ tin of chopped tomato. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
