Ingredients

2 tbsp oil (from the sun-dried tomato jar)

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic

250g puy lentils

8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely diced

60ml white wine

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp cayenne chili pepper

Salt & pepper, to taste

220ml vegetable stock

150ml heavy cream

30g hard cheese, grated

1 handful fresh basil

½ lemon, juice

Directions

Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat, and add the diced onion and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have softened.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the seasonings/spices and tomato paste and stir it into the onion and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook off until the tomato paste has darkened in colour (2-3 minutes).

Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan.

Add the puy lentils, vegetable stock, and heavy cream and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the hard cheese, then top with the fresh basil and lemon.
