  This is fantastic, I added mushrooms, then fresh basil at the end.

  Really good - I used two tins of tomatoes to one tin of lentils (800g and 400g respectively). If I made it again I would add more veg with the onion - maybe some celery and carrot. Recipe doesn't say where to add the worstershire sauce so I added it in with the tomato.
