The finely chopped veggies mixed with lentils and tomatoes cooks down into an amazingly delicious sauce that would give any regular lasagne a run for its money!!!
Serves 6
RAGU SAUCE :
2-3 red onions
5 garlic cloves
A good splash of tamari - approx 2 tbsp
Woody herbs fresh or dried ( 1 1/2 tsp thyme, oregano if dried)
No prepping, no faffing, it’s as simple as wash… bake… eat!
This is a brilliant, foolproof method of cooking corn in the oven if you haven’t had the chance to light the BBQ or the summer weather is a little on the wet side or you just fancy a simple tasty lunch. Of course, it is just as amazing on the BBQ, you just have to remember to rotate the corn 3 or 4 times throughout cooking.
We’ve suggested a few optional seasonings which go brilliantly with sweetcorn but it’s totally up to you!
