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))
  1. Place the onion in a pan and sauté in a little water until soft

  2. Add the lentils, lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar and salt and stir until warmed through, about 10 minutes, on a medium heat

  3. Remove from pan and place on the pita or slice of bread

  4. 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.
