on each side.

Once lentils are done pour the rest of the sauce on them, stir.

The Asparagus

Im a bit of a multi-tasker while cooking, so while I was waiting for the lentils and the portabellas, I fried up the asparagus in a pan with garlic, lemon, s&p and olive oil!

This was a very filling vegetarian meal!! Delicious, and had a lot of flavour!
