Method

Fry onions and carrots for five minutes until onions soft but not browned.

Add thyme and garlic and cook for a minute.

Add tomato puree and lentils and stir well so puree is full distributed.  Add tomatoes and stock, bring to boil and cook for 25 minutes (I think 35 might be better).

Add balsamic vinegar and season if required.

Serve with pasta and grated cheese, in a lasagne or on baked potato all with a salad.
