Chilli and lentil hotpot - perfect for the cold evenings. One of my favourite recipes to make during the week as it's so simple, minima ingredients, most of which can be found in your cupboards!
Vegan, gluten free and full of flavour - I hope this can become one our staple weekly recipes too.
Ingredients
1 red onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tin tomatoes
1/2 cup rinsed lentils
750ml stock
1 chunk dark (85%) chocolate
100g fresh spinach
1/2 cup dairy free single cream
Spices
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp smoked chipotle flakes
1/2 tsp sage
Pinch salt
Method
Fry off the chopped onion in a little oil, followed by the mined garlic for a further 1 minute
Add all of the remaining ingredients (apart from the chocolate) and simmer for 20-25 minutes
Once the lentils are cooked add the chunk of chocolate and the dairy-free cream then serve up (I also added some fresh spinach)
