Variations

Step 1 Red lentils blend easily with beef mince. To use the lentils as a meat extender, allow around 1/2 cup of lentils per 500g mince. Cook the lentils in boiling water as outlined above.

Step 2 Then, in a medium-sized pan, brown the meat, add the onion and garlic and continue to cook till soft. Add the remainder of the ingredients and 1 1/2 teaspoons of beef stock. When the lentils are cooked, stir them into the meat sauce and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes until flavours are developed.
