This is one of our weekly staples... cheap, nutrious and super easy. It also tastes amazing... comfort food at it's best :)
Ingredients:

- 350ml vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp sugar or syrup (eg maple or agave. Optional)

- Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan and fry the onion until soft.
- Add the mushrooms (or other veg) and the garlic to the pan and fry for 5 mins until soft.
- Add the lentils, tomatoes, wine, stock and tomato puree to the pan and stir thoroughly. Season to taste.
