Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 6 medium mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium courgette (zucchini), grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 400 g tin lentils (brown or green), drained (265g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 1 tbsp chipotle paste
- 1 tbsp tomato puree / paste
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
- To serve: Taco shells (soft or crunchy), toppings (see blog post for ideas)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the sliced mushrooms, grated courgette, and minced garlic. Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until any excess liquid has cooked off and the vegetables are soft.
- Add the tin of lentils, along with the chipotle paste, tomato puree, and smoked paprika. Mix well, and cook for a further 5 minutes or so, until piping hot. If the mixture seems too dry, just add a splash of water.
- Season to taste, and serve in taco shells (soft or crunchy), with your choice of toppings. I used grated cheese, fresh tomatoes, and spring onions.
