Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large eggplant (or 2 small eggplants)
1 brown onion
1 large carrot (or 2 small carrots)
2-3 cloves garlic (or 2-3 tsp of crushed garlic from a jar)
1 and 1/3 cups red lentils (measured dry/uncooked)
700 grams passata ((this is one standard size passata sauce bottle in Australian supermarkets, it's around 2.5-3 cups of sauce))
1 can cannellini beans (i.e. white beans (one standard sized can))
1 cup vegetable stock
2 tbsp tamari (or gluten free soy sauce)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp dried Italian herb mix
salt & pepper (to season)
1-2 cups water

Steps:

  • Prepare the vegetables and legumes. Finely dice the onion, grate the carrot and dice the eggplant into 1cm cubes. Rinse the red lentils and set aside.
  • Heat a large pan/saucepan up to a moderate-high heat and add the 2 tbsp olive oil. Saute the eggplant, carrot and onion until the vegetables are well softened and starting to brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook for a further minute until the garlic smells fragrant.
  • Add the passata, cup of vegetable stock, tamari, dried herbs and the red lentils. Stir everything together and reduce the heat of the stove down to a simmer. Partially cover the pan with a lid.
  • Cook the pasta sauce, stirring occasionally, at a simmer for at least 20 minutes, allowing the lentils to swell and soften. Keep the lid on the pan, slightly ajar. Add water to the pasta sauce as needed as the lentils cook (estimate you will need 1-2 cups of water).
  • While the sauce is cooking, drain and rinse the canned cannellini beans. Towards the end of the cooking stir in the beans and then season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Done. Serve with your favourite pasta and a leafy green salad.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the eggplant with some of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until very tender, about 1-1 1/2 hours. The skin should easily peel off and the insides creamy.
  • When the eggplant is 20-30 minutes to being done, heat the remaining olive oil in a large dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and salt. Cook until vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes. Add in garlic, oregano and thyme.
  • Add the wine and cook until wine is reduced by at least half and sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
