Brown & spice beef: Turn heat up to high, add beef and cook until it's no longer red, breaking it up as you go. Add 2 tablespoons of the Spice Mix and cook it for a further ⏱️ 2 minutes - it will smell so good!
4
Carrot & celery: Add carrot and celery, then stir for ⏱️ 1 minute. (If using your own veg mix, add the veg in this step that will hold up to full ⏱️ 25 min simmer time)
5
Make broth: Add water, beef stock, canned tomato, lentils and remaining Spice Mix too. Give it a stir, bring to simmer, then place lid on and reduce to medium low so it's simmering gently. Lentils will take ⏱️ 25 - 30 minutes to cook until soft. Very old lentils can take ⏱️ 5 - 10 minutes longer.
