Lentil and eggplant ragu

Serves 6

 

• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1 brown onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 sticks celery, finely chopped

• 1 carrot, sliced into 1cm-thick rounds

• 1 eggplant, diced into 1cm cubes

• 1 cup red wine

• ½ cup tomato paste

• 750ml vegetable stock

• 375g pack whole green lentils, rinsed

• 1 fresh bay leaf

• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 Tbsp brown sugar

• Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

• Cooked penne, to serve

• Shaved parmesan, to serve

 

Step 1: Heat oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add onion, garlic, celery and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add eggplant and cook for a further 5 minutes or until eggplant has softened slightly. Stir in wine and tomato paste, then bring to the boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until wine has reduced by half. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a 5L slow cooker and place in appliance.

 

Step 2: Stir in 2 cups of water, stock, lentils, tomatoes, herbs, ½ of the vinegar and ½ of the sugar. Cover with lid and cook on low setting for 6 hours. Stir in remaining vinegar and remaining sugar. Season.
