Here we are, then, in the middle of Lent. Perhaps you’re keeping your resolutions, or perhaps you’re finding it more difficult. However you’re getting on, here are a couple of simple tasty dishes that might make fasting a bit more bearable – or even enjoyable! They’re both very quick and easy to make, totally plant-based, and will warm you through on a cold winter’s day. Don’t worry if you’ve given up alcohol – it burns off in the cooking…
Creamy parsnip curry with lentils
Parsnips and curry spices are a match made in heaven. This is an easy 20-minute recipe, perfect for a midweek meal, and as a bonus it freezes very well. There are a number of shortcut ingredients which speed it up: pre-cooked lentils, ready-chopped ginger and garlic and a shop-bought spice paste. But of course if you have more time you can absolutely use your own fresh or homemade versions of any of these.
