Recipe #46 Red Lentil Bolognese [vegan]

Shopping list (4 portions)

500 gr dry pasta

1 medium onion

1 can plum tomatoes

2 medium carrots

salt & pepper & dry parsley 

125gr dry red lentils

2 -4 tablespoons of olive oil

400 ml water + 1 stock cube

You'll need a food processor

Method 

Use the food processor with the chopping blade.

Chop the carrots, and onion. Transfer this into a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Open the can of tomatoes and empty this into the food processor. Chop the can of tomatoes for a few seconds.

By now the onion and carrot should be cooked, cover it with the tomato sauce and 400ml water (I use the empty tomato can to measure). Season with salt, pepper and parsley (chilli or cayenne pepper optional, if you like it spicy) and add the dry lentils and the stock cube.

Cover the saucepan and let it cook for 20min on medium heat (stir from the time to time to avoid that the lentils stick to the saucepan ).

Now cook the pasta al dente, normally 6-8min depending on the heat. Once it is cooked, drain the water (reserve 2 tablespoons of the water), throw the drained pasta into the same saucepan where you cooked them in (and add the reserved water to avoid that the pasta sticks).

Serve with a generous quantity of lentil sauce. (you can sprinkle with parmesan cheese if vegetarian).

You can additionally add 5 min before the end some sliced mushrooms (150gr) like the picture below.

Disturbing 'Farm to Fridge'

If you watch this and don't feel anything, then something is wrong with you.




It's called from Farm to Fridge, a documentary 12 min long, and don't watch if you want to continue eating your bacon.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep watching these videos, why "do I do that to myself" but I think if we as a society allow this to continue, we should be able to watch what the animals endure. It's disturbing, sick, sad and cruel. I want to apologize for all of the, for what humans have done, are doing and most probably will continue to do.
