- Heat a Tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the leek & chilli flakes, then gently sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano and mushrooms and cook for a further 10 minutes, under cover, until the mushrooms have withered and released their liquid.
- Add the lentils and stock, bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the sauce has reduced.
