Ingredients

1-cal oil spray
1 large courgette , finely diced
100g smoked tofu , finely diced
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
250g sachet cooked puy lentils
1 red onion , finely chopped
1 medium roasted red pepper from a jar (not in oil), about 85g, sliced
good handful pea shoots or rocket

Steps:

Spray a non-stick pan with 3 sprays of oil and add the courgettes, tofu and smoked paprika. Cook for a few mins to soften the courgettes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and allow to sizzle and reduce.
Meanwhile, tip the lentils, onion and pepper into a bowl and toss gently to break up any clumps of lentils. Add the tofu and courgettes, and toss again. Will keep for 2 days in the fridge. Scatter over the pea shoots just before serving.
