This is the ultimate comfort food bursting with hidden nourishment and plant-based goodness. With red lentil flour to add protein and a velvety consistency (without the mushy lentil texture), and vegetables cut so small, even the pickiest eater will gobble it up without a fuss. Just a little chopping in the food processor and then slow bubbling on the stove, this is a dish that maximises flavour with minimal effort.
