If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix follow the recipe below:
- 30g olive oil
- 160g onions quartered
- 100g celery stalks cut in pieces (3 cm)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200g red split lentils
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves only
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 800g vegetable stock (made using 2 stock cubes or pots - see Notes)
- 1.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper or to taste
Place the oil, onions, celery and garlic in the mixing bowl then chop 5 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula, then sauté 5 minutes/ 100°C/speed 1.
Add the lentils, bay leaves, thyme, tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper then cook 30 minutes/100°C/reverse/slow speed (spoon symbol). Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Enjoy with some nice crusty bread!
- We have a large bay bush in our garden so use fresh bay leaves instead of dried.
- The first time making this I didn’t have 2 vegetable stock pots to make up the 800g of stock, so I used one vegetable stock pot and one chicken stock pot…they worked really well!
