Red Lentil & Tomato Soup
Filed Under Cooking & Food on February 7, 2011 | 8 Comments
This is a recipe I got from my mother, and what I love about it is how quick it is. All-in-all it doesn’t take much more than 30 minutes to go from a craving for soup, to tucking in, and most of that time is just to let it boil! You can easily make this soup while you are cooking the rest of the meal or doing some house work.
Below are the list of ingredients, you’ll get four good portions out of these amounts:
- 3 Cloves of Garlic (Mum only uses two, but I much prefer three)
- 1 Onion
- 170g of dried Red Lentils
- a 400g tin of chopped Tomatoes (I like to use organic)
- 850ml of Vegetable Stock (I use a gluten-free Vegetable Bouillon instead)
- Parsley (ideally fresh, but dried will do in a pinch)
- Salt & Black Pepper

My Bolognese Recipe
Filed Under Cooking & Food on January 5, 2011 | 3 Comments
This is a recipe I learned from my mother, and then improved on, and now she does Bolognese my way! Sharing at it’s best 🙂
Anyhow, since this is a more complex recipe, I thought I’d start with an ingredient list this time:
- 4 red onions
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1½ to 2 red bell peppers (can use other colours of you prefer)
- 2 400g tins of chopped tomatoes (I like to use organic)
- 500g of minced beef
- ½ a tube of tomato puree (which is about 70g)
- pasta of your choice (I use Gluten Free pasta from the Tesco Free From range)
- A good selection of dried herbs, and fresh Basil and Parsley if possible
This recipe will make 4 generous portions.
