Vegan - Yum Yum!!


I had a bunch of mushrooms left over, and some curried vege sausages... Throw it together with some lentils and a few interesting flavours and you get this delicious, easy vegan meal.


Brown Lentil and Mushroom Curry

1.5 cups dried brown lentils - soak for a few hours.
about 7 large cup mushrooms, thickly chopped
1 medium sweet potato, diced
5 curried vege sausages - cut into 1.5cm lengths
1 large onion, finely diced
5 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tbs korma paste
1/2 tbs biryani paste
1 tbs apple and date chutney
1/2 tbs garam masala
salt and pepper to taste

Over medium heat:
Saute the onions and garlic till clear, put in the mushrooms and cook with a little water until wilted.
Add the sweet potato and about 2 cups water. Stir in condiments and garam masala.
cook about 5 minutes. Add the lentils and enough water to cover. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes until sweet potato is cooked.
Add the vege sausages. cook a further 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Makes aboout 8 serves.
