View all comments (12)Paul, your sweet potato idea sounds lovely i'm gonna give it a try....I bet their just nice as a snack or side dish as well as on top of the soup....
Jan, I thought the exact same thing!
I don't find "2 handfuls" a useful way to measure something like lentils!
Instead of topping with fried pitta bread, try chip-size chunks of roasted sweet potato. First wash the potatoes, par boil in their skins in lightly sated water (about 10 mins). Cut into small thick chip size pieces. Heat oven to 200C. Put sweet potatoes in a baking dish or tray. lightly coat with olive oil and dust with a little Chinese 5 spice, no salt and white pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden (about 40 minutes).
superbfilling and cheap for me paying £1000 a month to keep my husband in a nursing home.he is too ill to be at home.
So fragrant and quick + simple to make! The colour is also just divine. I also added a stick of shredded celery, which adds a different texture and fresheness.
Very verey nice
sounds great but any chance of protien, fats, ect so those of us one points or syns diets can work out values
Divine! I wish i had read the recipe though as i thought it made about 10 portions! will multiply next time !
i had this for supper bcz im on a diet..and it ws really yummy and filling, im gona hv this regularly..tx
I dont usually like lentils, but decided to give this a go. Really easy and surprisingly delicious. Good source of protein and low in fat, Which was a winner with my health concious body building son.
