It's easy, healthy, and freezes really well. What more could you ask for? The original recipe calls for a small tin of sliced mushrooms, but I find a lot of people don't like mushies, so I leave them out.
Ingredients:
500 g beef mince
1 1/2 cups dry green lentils, rinsed
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
3 cups water
salt
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons beef stock powder
1 1/2 liters vegetable juice cocktail (such as v8)
1 dash worcestershire sauce
Directions:
1. Brown beef, breaking up as finely as possible.
2. Drain fat off beef.
3. Place beef and all other ingredients into a big pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover.
4. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until lentils are tender.
5. Serve with crusty bread and a dollop of plain yoghurt (or not!).
