1 hour 20 minutes


Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat.
2. Add the onion, pork, paprika and chilli pepper powder and stir for 3-4 minutes or until browned.
3. Add the thyme, tomato paste, sugar, lentils, broth, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to very low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom.
5. Remove the lid and simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Remove from the pan from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
7. Cut the tomato in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut the flesh into thin strips. Stir in the yogurt just before serving.
