Ingredients

  • 2l veg or ham stock
  • 150g red lentils
  • 6 carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 medium leeks, sliced (300g)
  • small handful chopped parsley, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the stock in a large pan and add the lentils. Bring back to the boil and allow the lentils to soften for a few mins. 

  2. Add the carrots and leeks to the lentils and season (don't add salt if you use ham stock as it will make it too salty). Bring to the boil, the reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 mins until the lentils have broken down. Scatter over the parsley and serve with buttered bread, if you like.
