Method

In a pot, add the butter and let it melt, add all the vegetables and sweat or steam cook on medium heat. You have to supervise this, as you need to stir occasionally and make sure the vegetables are sweating slowly. This process should take about 10-15 minutes.

Add the lentils and give this a further stir, apply all seasonings and stock cube and now add the water.

Let it simmer
