Préparation

To make tomato sauce, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic for 4 minutes or until golden. Stir in chilli, passata and 250 ml water, and cook for a further 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside and keep warm.
Cook lentils in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 25 minutes or until just tender. Drain, return to the pan and set aside.
