Creamy Mushroom & Lentil Ragu with Kale Pesto
This garlicky mushroom and lentil ragu is packed with flavour and goodness. Enriched with yoghurt and tahini to make it creamy and decadent. A vitamin-dense sweet potato mash to make it filling. Finished off with a quick and easy homemade kale and pecan pesto to bring it all together.
You supply: coconut oil, salt, pepper. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Creamy Mushroom & Lentil Ragu with Kale Pesto changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
