Directions
Spicy Lentil and Vegetable Dish, ——So easy, so healthy, so cheap! This is not a curry. It’s a spicy, nutritious one-pot dish. Can — actually should — be made the day before, as flavours definitely improve on standing: this was clear when I tucked into the leftovers. It’s not a glamorous dish: it’s rustic and robust. It’s quicker still to throw together if you first mix the spices together in a bowl, and also prepare the vegetables, before you start. Do not use substitutions except those suggested and do use fresh spices! Old spices are useless.——, This was delicious!! I followed the recipe with the following exceptions – halved the cinnamon, left out peas, added extra carrots and zucchini, used a jar of strained tomatoes instead of whole tomatoes, and added a couple shakes of cayenne for kick. Next time I will leave out the sugar. It added a hint of sweetness that I prefer to do without. It would be great with other veggies, perhaps cauliflower. This made a huge pot full – definitely more than 6 servings… but that’s a good thing in our house! We served it over brown rice., This was delicious!!
