20minutes depending on size of pieces and set
aside to cool. - Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pot, gently fry to
onion with the olive oil for 5 minutes. - Add the tomato paste, tinned tomatoes and spices
and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring often. - Add the 1 cup of stock, dried lentils and carrot and
simmer for 10 minutes on a low-medium heat. - Add the remaining vegetables and beans and
simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring often. - Once the lentils have broken down, remove from the

top evenly with the potato mash. - Bake at 180 for 10-15 mins.
