The combination of ginger, turmeric and lemon make this dish an immune-boosting and detoxing superstar. It’s such an easy and nourishing meal that’s perfect for a lazy mid-week dinner, and is great to take to work for lunch the following day. Lentils are packed with protein, dietary fibre and antioxidants and unlike legumes, they don’t need to be soaked before cooking, which means you can have this dish on the table in under half an hour.
