Method
- 1Onion in the oil until soft, then garlic, ginger and spices for a minute — until the kitchen smells of cumin, not before.
- 2Lentils and 700ml stock, simmered 18 minutes until they have collapsed.
- 3Peas and spinach in for the last three, then blitzed or beaten smooth.
- 4OFF THE HEAT, and only then the pea protein, whisked in a ladleful at a time. Into a boiling pot it goes grainy and stays grainy.
- 5Lemon in at the end, and taste for salt — it will need more than you expect.
The protein is there because a soy-free vegan cutting has almost nothing that clears their protein density, and this does. Unflavoured, off the heat, into something this well spiced, you will not find it.
