LEFT OVER THURSDAY

Sweat the onion and celery in the oil and marg until softened add the spices and garlic and cook for about 5 minuties if getting dry splash in a little water

Add the lentils and stir through for a minute or so and then add stock, cook until lentils soften add the peas and cook 1 more minute, cool and pop into casserole dish and then add cold mashed potatoes or slices of cooked potato
