Recipe: Lentils Ragù

Lentils Ragù

It may sound unusual, but this ragù does without any meat at all. And the taste is in no way inferior to the original. A dish that is perfect for freezing and therefore worth cooking in larger quantities. We prefer to eat our ragù with homemade pasta and a fresh green salad.
