Ingredients
- 2 tbsps. Clearspring Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 medium leek, cut into fine dice
- 2 carrots, cut into dice
- 2 celery stalks cut into fine dice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 jar of organic sundried tomatoes, cut into fine dice
- 3 cups of cooked organic brown lentils or 2 jars Clearspring Organic Lentils
- 2 tablespoons organic tomato paste dissolved in 1 cup of hot water
- 2 cups filtered water
- ¼ tsp. Hebridean Ascophyllum Seaweed
- 1 to 2 tbsp. Clearspring Tamari or Shoyu (natural soy sauce)
- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley leaves
- Clearspring Brown Rice Noodles or Brown Rice Spaghetti
- Spring onions for garnish
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the leek, carrot, celery and garlic. Cover, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, lentils, tomato sauce mixture, filtered water and seaweed. Cover and cook on low until lentils and vegetables are soft and you have a nice creamy consistency. Add more water if required. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain well. Just prior to serving, stir the tamari and parsley into the pot, taste and adjust to your liking. Place the cooked noodles in a serving bowl, top with bolognaise and finely diced spring onions.
Marlene notes that since many doe not wish to use oil – simply sauté with water or vegetable stock.
