My sister’s recipe. Makes 6 large bowls and freezes well. And doesn’t actually taste of lentils.
1 large onion chopped
2 or 3 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
280 grams of rinsed red lentils
1 carton of passata (500g)
2 tablespoons of dried thyme (yes, tablespoons, not teaspoons)
2 litres of water or stock
NB Add seasoning at the end not during cooking
1. Mix all ingredients in a pan and bring to boil.
2. Leave to simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to check the lentils aren’t sticking on the bottom (and ruining your new saucepan…I have paid the price).
3. Season to taste and then blitz with a hand thingy or put in the blender for less mess.
