Lentils with tomato and onion sauce

 

Serves 2. Preparation time about 20 minutes

Ingredients

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 of rocket or spinach
2 pita breads, or 2 slices soft seed loaf (toasted if you wish)

Add some mild curry powder or mild chilli sauce for a different flavour (optional)

Preparation

  • 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.

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.
