This is a Friday night favourite in our house. It’s a rich and tasty meal and makes a great alternative to take away.
 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 1 chorizo sausage, chopped into thin discs
 1 tbsp harissa (Can be replaced with 1 tsp of chilli flakes or chilli paste + 1 garlic clove, crushed)
 400 g tin of chopped tomato
 800 g (2 x 400g) tin of brown lentils, rinsed and drained
 220 g roasted capsicum (sometimes I haven’t had this and it doesn’t matter if you just leave it out)
 1 cup chicken stock
 500 g green prawns (I buy frozen cooked and peeled prawns to save time)
 1 bunch of asparagus and or broccolini or broccoli head
 ¼ cup flat leaf parsley

1

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add onion and chorizo cooking until the chorizo starts to crisp up.

2

Stir in harissa or chilli flakes and garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Add tomatoes, lentils, capsicum and stock, bring to the boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.

4

Meanwhile roast or bbq broccolini and/or asparagus. Drizzle veggies with extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper and bake in oven @180 for 15-20mins or until crispy. Or grill on bbq. Add this to the top of your meal at the end.

5

Next, if you have frozen prawns put them in a heat proof bowl and boil the kettle. When the kettle has boiled cover them with boiling water and let them sit for 5-10minutes to thaw out. Drain well, spread out on paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

6

After the lentil mix has been cooking for 20 minutes add the prawns, cover and cook for 5 minutes until the prawns are cooked and no longer look see through.

7

To serve fill bowls with lentil mixture and top with broccolini or asparagus.

GF, LF, DF. V- remove prawn and chorizo and add 300g of button mushrooms instead. Cut mushrooms into quarters and add to the pan with the onion in step 1.
