Lentils

This is one of my favourite vegetarian recipes, so easy to do and perfect after all the heavy Christmas food!

Ingredients for 4

2tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion

2 garlic cloves

1 chilli pepper

4tbsp tomato pure

4dl lentils

1 stock cube

1l of water

1tsp cumin powder

1 bay leaf

For the zesty yoghurt

2dl greek yoghurt

1 clove of garlic

1tsp lemon juice

1tsp lemon zest

Process

I a large pot heat up some olive oil then add finely chopped onion, garlic and chilli. Sauté until soft and translucent.

Add the tomato pure and stir for a minute or two. Then add the rest of the ingredients, bring up to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let cook partially covered for 20min.

For the yoghurt part you can make it easy and just mix everything together.

Before I did that I let it hang in a muslin cloth for a while so it ended up really thick in consistency.

Serve the lentils with a click of that fragrant yoghurt and enjoy!
