1½ cup red lentils (3 dl)
1 onion
1 clove of garlic or garlicpowder
1 tablespoon oil
3 carrots
1 paprika or 3 tablespoons of Ajvar relish
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 cube of vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chili sauce (optional)
Salt, pepper
1 tablespoon basil
Cook the lentils for 10 minutes or so they are supposed to fall apart, drain them, chop the onions and garlic sizzle them for a bit in the oil. Chop the carrots, add them and leave it for a while.
Add the parika or Ajvar relish. Add the lentils, tomatoes and cub of broth and the chili sauce if you want it. Let simmer for a few minutes. Season it with salt, pepper and basil plus whatever seasoning you prefer.
Serve with pasta, I usually add some green olives when I eat it. I usually make a bunch and freeze most of it. Works fine.
