Lentil Bolognese

Method:

(Serves 4)

Place a pan on medium heat with a little oil or water

Add the onion and carrot and sauté until softened. (If using frozen carrot, add this after the mixed herbs).

Next, add the garlic and salt and stir, before adding in the dried lentils.

Pour in the vegetable stock. Stir occasionally until all the liquid absorbs.

Next, add the soy sauce, passata and vinegar. Stir occasionally again, until the liquid absorbs.
