Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cook tortellini and drain. Heat 2 tbs. olive oil in skillet or wok (med. sized). dump in onion, mushroom and garlic all at once and stir fry until mushroom and onion are tender. Put beans in large saucepan with water and tomato sauce. Bring to boil and add corn, olives, and mushroom mixture. Simmer 1 hour or until thickened and lentils are done, stirring often. Add tortellini, simmer 5 minutes, and then serve.
