- (optional) to serve with: crushed garlic, nut cheese, coriander leaves, Marigold Engevita yeast flakes B12.

Step 1
If possible, soak the lentils for 2 to 4 hours (to help further reduce the antinutrient content).

Dry-fry the cumin seeds in a large saucepan for 1 min.

Water fry the crushed garlic and chopped onions, and cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in 140g red split lentils, 850ml vegetable stock and the tomatoes, then bring to the boil.
Step 5
Simmer for 20 mins until the lentils have softened.
