Part 5/8:
Lentil Bolognese is the next on our list, offering a fantastic plant-based alternative to traditional meat sauce. Using red lentils for a hearty, meat-like texture, this recipe is not only tasty but also surprisingly uncomplicated.
Begin by soaking the lentils in water for about 30 minutes while dicing an onion and mincing garlic. Next, toast walnuts for added umami flavor and set aside. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the garlic, followed by tomato paste, which you’ll cook down to deepen the flavor.
