Directions
- Pour water in a large saucepan or casserole dish on medium heat, add the garlic, onion, carrot, capsicum and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the spices and cook for a further 30-60 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped red chilli (if using), tinned tomatoes, lentils and kidney beans. Mix through well and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for a few minutes, then add the vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to simmer for 30 minutes.
- While the lentils are simmering, make the chunky guacamole by mixing all of the ingredients together.
- Once the lentils are cooked, serve with chopped coriander on top. Corn chips are a delicious addition. I get the corn chips from the health food store to keep the dinner on the healthy side!
