Slow Cooked Lentil Ragu
This simple, slow cooked ragu recipe is ideal for this cold weather, with the red wine adding a rich, warming, depth of flavour to it. Try serving with warm garlic bread for a perfect comfort meal!
Chives make a great replacement for onion in recipes if you intolerant like myself.
