The Recipes

If you want to save yourself some time and effort this week, we'd seriously recommend making a big batch of our Mushroom & Lentil Ragù. Not only is it a delicious recipe in its own right – which tastes great on plain pasta or rice – but it's a base you can turn into three delicious recipes at the drop of the hat. Cook up this batch and you can make a Mushroom & Lentil Gnocchi, a Mushroom & Lentil Ragù With Red Pepper Sauce & Tahini, and even a Spiced Lentils with Couscous and Buttered Pine Nuts. Easy.

Spiced Lentils with Couscous and Buttered Pine Nuts

Adding dried fruits to savoury ragù is a great way to add nutrients and flavour. We’ve used apricots and spices to turn this batch cook into a warming, tagine-inspired dish.

Mushroom & Lentil Ragù With Red Pepper Sauce & Tahini

We’ve kept this one nice and simple by topping it with an almondy, red pepper sauce that comes together in no time at all. Warm up some bread for scooping and get stuck in.
