Ingredients
  • teaspoons of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of dried chilli flakes
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup of water
  • 1 can of lentils drained
  • 1/3 of a bunch of kale chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil on a medium heat in a non-stick frypan. Add the thyme, oregano and chilli flakes, and stir. Fry for 1 minute and add the garlic, salt and pepper. Fry for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
  2. Add the lentils and salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Combine with the tomatoes and a half a cup of water, stirring to combine with the lentils and spices. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, adding water if it gets too dry.
  3. Once the tomato mixture has reduced, add the chopped kale and stir to mix. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the kale has softened.
  4. Serve with quinoa, rice or steamed vegetables.
