Spicy Red and White Braised Lentils

Introducing our tantalising spicy red and white braised lentils, a dish that will awaken your taste buds and leave you craving for more. This delectable creation combines the earthy goodness of red and white lentils, cooked to perfection, with a medley of aromatic ingredients.

We start by sautéing fried onions, infusing the lentils with a rich, savoury flavour that forms the foundation of this mouthwatering dish. The lentils are then simmered with ripe tomatoes, lending a burst of tangy sweetness to the mix. As the lentils gently simmer, we add a carefully balanced blend of smashed cumin, lime juice, turmeric, and salt, which brings an irresistible depth of flavour.

But what truly sets our spicy red and white braised lentils apart is the touch of cracked black pepper. It adds a subtle yet delightful kick that dances on your palate, creating a harmonious balance between spice and warmth. Each spoonful is a symphony of flavours, from the nuttiness of lentils to the tang of lime, with a lingering heat that leaves you yearning for another bite.

For those seeking a meaty indulgence, we offer the option to enhance your lentil experience with succulent lamb or tender chicken. For an additional cost of £2, the choice is yours to elevate this already tantalising dish to new heights of culinary delight.
