A simple lunch to help livesimply
These recipes were provided by Lucy Harrison, from CAFOD's community fundraising team, as part of her promise to livesimply.
She says: "These are just two recipes, you’ll have your favourites as well – share them with your group, and if you let us know them, we’ll share them with other groups who have also taken the livesimply challenge."
Sauté 1 chopped onion in some olive oil.
Chop 1-2 sticks of celery, 2-3 carrots, ½ turnip and 1 leek and add to the onion - cook for 5 minutes.
Add 3oz of lentils and 1½ pint stock (vegetable or chicken stock cubes are fine) - bring to the boil and then simmer until the lentils are cooked.
Liquidise and then add a splash of milk and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Season with plenty of black pepper.
