This is another staple during Lent.

Ingredients

  • 200 g (7 oz) green lentils
  • 1 onion, diced
  • sunflow

Method

Wash the lentils until the water runs clear, then drain and leave to the side.

In a saucepan, sauté the onion in oil over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic, turmeric and cumin to the pot and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes, adding just a tad of water to get a thick paste.
