Vegetable bolognese a la Søndag


I have found this recipe on vegetable bolognese in the vegetable magazine of "Søndag" (issue 16/2020). The beef has been replaced with red lentils as the protein part of the meal. The original recipe is for two serving, however I decided to double up the recipe, so I had some extra portions for easy food later on in the weeks.

Next time I think, that I will increase the use of tomato concentrates to boost the tomato flavour. As options vegetable inclusion I would also consider to include some pepper fruit on the top of the carrot (vegetable bolognese with extra tomato).

The red lentils is actually giving a nice texture, a little like beef texture.

I served this dish together with freshly baked foccacia bread with tomato and rosemary..
