Vegetarian Casserole

14th September 2015

I decided I wanted something warm and wholesome for dinner this week and I found a nice lentil casserole website on BBC Good Food website.



This began with a lot of chopping. First the onion was sautéed until transparent and soft. Then the garlic paste, garam masala, paprika and mixed herbs went in along with the celery and carrots. This fried for a few minutes before adding the peppers, courgette and chopped tomatoes and allowed this to simmer for a while while I mixed the vegetable stock up.


I used dried split lentils, so I added this with the stock. This meant I needed an overflow pan to reduce some of the liquid down while. The stew simmered for 25 minutes on the hob, until the lentils were tender. This actually split down into five individual portions, enough to feed me for the entire week with very few calories!
