Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the beetroot wedges in a roasting tray with 1 tbsp oil, the fennel seeds and some seasoning. Toss to coat, then roast for 30 mins, shaking halfway, or until golden and starting to caramelise. Reduce the oven to gas 3, 170°C, fan 150°C.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a lidded ovenproof casserole dish over a medium heat and fry the onion, carrots and celery for 12 mins or until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 mins.
  3. Stir in the garlic and tomato purée and fry for 1 min, stirring constantly. Pour in the red wine and vinegar, and allow to bubble and reduce for 2 mins. Add the lentils, stock and roasted beetroot, and bring everything to a simmer.
  4. Cover, then transfer to the oven for 35-40 mins, stirring halfway, until the beetroot is tender and the sauce has thickened. Scatter with the chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread or mashed potato, if you like.
