Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredients |
| 2 | Britannia The Laughing Cow Creamy Cheese Sachet |
| ¼ large | Onion, grated |
| ¼ large | Carrot, grated |
| 25 g | Red lentils, dried |
| 1 clove | Garlic, minced |
| ¼ tsp | Cumin |
| ¼ tsp | Smoked paprika |
| ¼ tsp | Dried oregano |
| 150 ml | Vegetable stock |
| 100 g | Tomatoes, finely chopped |
| To taste | Salt and black pepper |
| As needed | Olive oil |
Method
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the grated onion and carrot, then saute for 3 minutes, stirring often, until they soften slightly. This softening helps develop the base flavours for your lentils.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika to the pan. Stir well and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to release their aroma. This step adds the signature Mexican flair to the dish.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, red lentils, and chopped tomatoes. Stir well, ensuring the lentils are fully mixed with the liquid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat slightly to medium, leaving the pot uncovered. Let it boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- After 10 minutes, add the oregano, then stir well. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for a further 15 minutes, stirring regularly. The lentils should absorb the flavours and soften to a creamy consistency.
- Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the Britannia The Laughing Cow Creamy Cheese Sachets. The cheese will combine into the dish, creating a smooth and creamy texture that kids will love. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pack the cheesy Mexican lentils with your choice of sides for a filling and nutritious meal.
