Jerk Lentils and Roti
The Lentils
Step 1.
Dice your garlic, ginger, onion and scotch bonnet.
Step 2.
Fry your diced veg in a large pan with a tbsp of vegetable oil until soft and slightly browned.
Step 3.
Add your dried spices and stock powder then fry for a few mins. Add a splash of water to deglaze the pan and simmer for another minute.
Step 4.
Wash your green lentils and set aside.
Step 5.
Add the fresh thyme, chopped tomatoes, a cup of water, brown sugar and washed lentils to the pan and the simmer on a medium heat for 15 mins. You want the lentils to absorb the liquid and become proper saucy.
The Roti

Gradually add the water to the flour and combine into a firm dough, cover and rest for 30 mins.
Step 7.
Break into 6 equal-sized pieces and roll out thin over a floured surface before dry frying for a minute or 2 on each side.

Serve up the lentils with freshly cooked roti and enjoy.
