Ingredients
Olive oil
1 onion - diced
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 cup of red lentils
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato puree
A good handful of torn basil
Seasoning
A little veggie stock if necessary
1/2 tsp of sugar if necessary
Method
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Soften the onions in the oil gently and then add the garlic and, again, soften gently. Add the lentils, stir well and cook for about one minute. Add the tin of tomatoes, tomato puree, basil and seasoning. Bring to the boil and simmer for about ten minutes, until the lentils are soft. Stir occasionally and add a little stock if it becomes too dry. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a tiny bit of sugar if there is any bitterness.
Serve with wholemeal spaghetti.
