Easy, delicious and nutritious! Rich in iron, magnesium,folic acid and molybdenum. I like whole red lentils as they are particularly rich in iron but you can use green or brown.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8oz whole lentils, soaked overnight or for a few hours ( or use 2 cans of cooked organic lentils)
  • 1 large eggplant,diced
  • 1 large red onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp organic tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp organic balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil or coriander

METHOD

Cook the lentils in fresh boiling water until tender usually 20-30 minutes. Drain.

While the lentils are cooking heat the olive oil and add the eggplant. Cook until soft and brown adding more oil if necessay.

Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Add the drained lentils and cook for a few minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Top with fresh chopped herbs and serve.

Great with creamy mashed potatoes and salad.
