This dish takes a little at home preparation, but the pay off is worth it! A really tasty, smokey vegan burger that provides a nice portion of protein. Served in a crusty roll, it would be perfect for cooking on a BBQ, an open fire or on a cooking stove. For my method, its important to get lentils in those microwavable packets. You can of course used tinned lentils if that is all you can find, but it’ll e a little messier!

A lasagne, the perfect meal for a nice day. It is filled with flavour and you can even customise it for whatever you like. Whilst vegan cheese and dairy alternatives exist, I’ve not found one I like that much, and so in this meal rather than try and create a substitute for the béchamel or cheese, I’ve just ignored them and done without! In place of beef, I used Merchant Gourmet French Tomatoey Puy & Green Lentils.

A warming tomato bean stew is a great pick-me-up after a walk, or even part way through a long walk.
