Lentil Bolognese

This is a good dish, and is very good with cheese served upon it. Make sure you slosh in a good quantity of the seasoning-type things to avoid blandness.

We gives it a 15/20

So, ingredients:

1 tsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic (crushed)
25g onion (finely chopped)
25g leek (finely chopped too)
25g celery (ditto)
25g green pepper (dittooo)
25g carrot (dittoooo)
25g courgette (dittooooooo)
85g mushrooms (totally cut up)
1 splosh of red wine (poor quality)
1 pinch of dried thyme
1 can of toms with juice and pulp separated
2 tbsp green lentils (cooked)
pepper to taste
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp sugar
2 1/2 tbsp basil
Freshly cooked spaghetti to serve ya

Method:
1. Fry up the garlic until golden brown golden brown and then all veg except the mushrooms and cook on medium until soft, stirring occasionally.
2. Add mushrooms and wine and cook on HIGH for two mins. Add thyme and tom juice and cook until reduced by half.
3. Add lentils and pepper. Stir in toms and cook for three mins. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, sugar and basil.
4. Serve over a bed of spag and sprinke with nice (vegetarian) cheddar or parmesan.
