Ingredients

▢ 75 g dried red split lentils
▢ 2 onions
▢ 2 heaped tablespoons balti curry paste
▢ 200 g mixed-colour kale
▢ 1 × 250g sachet of cooked brown basmati rice

Instructions

Cook the lentils in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onions, put them into a large shallow casserole pan on a medium heat with ½ a tablespoon of olive oil and the balti paste, and cook for 15 minutes, or until soft and golden, stirring regularly.
Tear in the kale (discarding any tough stalks), add a splash of lentil cooking water, cover and leave for 2 minutes.
Drain the lentils, toss into the casserole pan with the rice, cover again, and leave for a final 3 minutes.
Toss it all together, taste, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, and dish up.
Delicious.
