This recipe for Canal House lentils is a masterclass in coaxing deep, savoury flavour from humble store-cupboard staples. By gently frying leeks and garlic with tomato purée before simmering, the French green lentils develop a rich complexity that belies the short preparation time. The addition of soy sauce at the end provides a boost of umami, making this a satisfying plant-based dish that works beautifully as a main course or a substantial side.
As a versatile vegan dish, these lentils are ideal for forward-thinking cooks, as the flavours continue to develop and improve if made a few days in advance. Serve them warm in a bowl with a scattering of fresh spring onions, or pair them with crusty sourdough bread for a nutritious, fibre-rich lunch. They also make a fantastic base for a more elaborate Mediterranean-style feast.

Ingredients for Canal House Lentils
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium leek, white and pale-green parts only, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
240ml green lentils, preferably French
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Thinly sliced spring onions (optional
for serving)
How to make Canal House Lentils
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add leek, garlic, and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and tomato paste begins to darken, about 4 minutes. Add lentils and 600ml water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, 45–55 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes; add soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve lentils topped with spring onions, if desired.
DO AHEAD: Lentils can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
