Notes
HINT AND TIPS:
For extra flavour, add freshly grated parmesan (or a hard vegan cheese) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving. Serve with buttered toasted bread, I particularly like thin rye bread! If you have not got any lentils, feel free to use any other grains which are available or a short pasta. Allergens: CELERY and CELERIAC, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, gluten free.Nutrition
