Our red lentil RAGU is always on our menu! Give it a try today!

Ingredients: Red Lentil Ragu (serves 6)
1 cup (86 g) dry red split lentils (rinsed and drained. See notes if using cooked lentils)
½ cup (62 g)  ground walnuts, toasted (see notes for nut free suggestions)
½ red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Sprinkle of salt
1-2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, chopped (or spice of your choice)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups (711 ml) vegetable broth (homemade for extra savings)
440 ml marinara sauce, or tomato sauce of choice
⁠
Method:
Rinse and drain lentils (or leave them soaking for 15 minutes or so).
Toast the walnuts in the oven at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until fragrant. Allow to cool and grind into a fine meal.
In a large saute pan, saute the onion and garlic in broth or oil for 2-3 minutes until browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
Add the tomato paste, chipotle peppers, and cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the broth, lentils, and walnuts. Bring to a low boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Keep the pan uncovered so that the broth reduces.
Add tomato sauce and simmer for another 15 minutes or until your desired consistency is reached.
