30 minute Chickpea Comfort Bowl with red lentils👇🏽 Add feta or yoghurt or roasted veg or pile high with fresh salad or stir in greens for the last few minutes of cooking if you need more greens in your life. This is the sort of easy Monday dinner that I always double up on so I can have the rest on Wednesday or Thursday when it tastes eveeeeeen betttteeer. You could also roast peppers, aubergine or courgette & have them on top too.

Feeds 4
1 medium onion, diced
2 fat cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tsp ghee or coconut oil
350g red lentils, rinsed
1 x tin cooked chickpeas or other beans
1 x 400g tinned tomatoes
2 tsp tomato puree
2 tsp of dried thyme/oregano/rosemary or 1 tbsp fresh or add za'atar
2 tsp smoked paprika (if you've got the 'hot' variety, you might not need more chilli 🌶️)
1 tbsp ground cumin
chilli flakes, to taste
800ml more stock /organic chicken broth
sea salt & black pepper

To serve:
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
handful of feta or yoghurt
pomegranate seeds or fresh herbs
juice of 1/2 lemon and some lemon zest/chopped lemon peel
Extra dried or fresh herbs
.
Fry the onions in a medium saucepan in the ghee/coconut oil for 8 mins, stirring from time to time.
.
Add garlic, thyme, cumin, paprika, chilli & salt & pepper for another few mins
.
Stir in tomato puree & fry for a few mins then add red lentils, tinned tomatoes and stock/broth, stir well, pop the lid on, bring to boil then turn down to a medium simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure the lentils don’t catch at the bottom.
.
Add cooked chickpeas, turn up heat & simmer strongly for 5 -10 mins until the lentils are soft & the soup is nice & thick. (Add 1/2 a mug of hot water if you think it needs it).I like mine thick & comforting. If it feels too soupy for you, take the lid off the pan & let it cool for 5 mins to reduce down & thicken up.
.
Stir in lemon juice & season to taste then serve up each bowl, top with feta or yog, swirl olive oil & a little chopped lemon peel/zest plus extra herbs & chilli.
