Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the parsnips on 1-2 large baking tray(s) and drizzle with oil. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a glug of oil and add the onion. Fry over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the dry spiced and ginger, then fry for 2-3 minutes more, stirring regularly.
- Add the lentils, 800ml boiling water and the chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- When the lentils are soft, stir in the grated carrots and the spinach, simmer for 5 minutes more, then season to taste and top with the crispy parsnips. Serve with flatbreads, yogurt and coriander, if you like.
