Hi, I've got a work potluck coming up and often the vegetarians/people who don't eat certain meats are a bit neglected.
​
I had deep fried oyster mushrooms at a previous job at it was tastier than the chicken nibbles, anyone know of a place I can order some?

Beetroot and Lentil Soup/Stew
1-2 carrots and beetroots, peeled & chopped. Season, and oil and roast. I found the beets need a bit more time than the carrots.
Dice 1 onion and a few cloves of garlic and fry in butter or oil until soft and golden. Add tomato paste and spices (smoked paprika, chilli flakes, dried herbs, bay leaves, nutmeg, salt and pepper), fry off a little longer.
Add one can of whole peeled tomatoes, cook down some more and add stock and lentils (soaked dried or canned is fine adjust water as needed) once the lentils are cooked add the roasted vegetables.
Serve with your choice of toppings, parmesan was nice as was sour cream and fresh coriander.
