Lentils with Tomato & Onion Sauce
- ½ onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup brown tinned lentils (rinsed and drained)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 handfuls rocket or spinach
- 2 pita breads (or 2 slices soft seed loaf (toasted if you wish))
-
Place the onion in a pan and sauté in a little water until soft
-
Add the lentils, lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar and salt and stir until warmed through, about 10 minutes, on a medium heat
-
Remove from pan and place on the pita or slice of bread
-
Place the fresh rocket or spinach on top
Add some mild curry powder or mild chilli sauce for a different flavour (optional)
Serve with: Chopped coriander and balsamic vinegar or sweet chilli sauce
Tip: The curry powder or chilli sauce can be used to give this dish a new taste. Adding some peas also bulks up the recipe and adds more nutrients. To save some time, you could use a can of tomato and onion mix. The ingredients can also be heated in a microwave if you do not have a stove.
