TOMATO, CHEESE AND CHICK PEA

1 lb finely chopped onions.
2 and a half pints of water.
2 tablespoons full of tomato puree.
2 heaped teaspoons sea salt.
2 teaspoons full honey.
4 tablespoons Evaporated milk.
1 heaped tablespoon of Parmesan or strong cheddar
   cheese.
6 ounces of red split lentils.
3 whole cloves.
3 cardamom pods.
1 level teaspoon of dried rosemary.
3 quarter of a lb of pre-cooked Chick Peas (Soaking and 
   cooking Chick Peas can be a right sod!  Takes bloody
   Hours. Tinned is easier but not so tasty') 

 

METHOD

Chuck it all in the pot with the water. Bring to boil. Then simmer it for 40 minutes. Simple. NO, WRONG! Chuck it all in the pot EXCEPT the Chickpeas! Add ChickPeas 5 minutes before serving.

 

SERVES 4
