I'm living with two and a half vegetarians (Cora is kind of sitting on the fence and has a cheeky bacon sarnie every now and again). This means that I am often encouraged to eat more vegetarian stuff. I've given in and here is a rather nice Nigel Slater recipe. I added wine and I think this makes it much better. It's actually really filling and great on a cold winter night.
Give it a shot. If you haven't got carrots but do have bacon then try this recipe.

Ingredients
Method
Fry the carrot and onion over a lowish heat in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. When it's all gone a bit yellow and soft pop in the lentils and then immediately the stock.
Let it simmer (low heat, lid off) for about 20 mins then add in two glasses of wine. Continue to let it simmer for a further 10-15 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Done.
Get some pasta on at the same time and munch!
