Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut each potato in half. • Place each halved potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Arrange cut-side down. • Roast until crisp and tender, 40-45 minutes.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato. Grate the carrot. • Drain the sweetcorn. Drain and rinse lentils.

• When the potatoes have 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook carrot and sweetcorn, stirring, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add Tex-Mex spice blend, tomato paste and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

• Stir in lentils, vegetable stock powder, the water and the brown sugar. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Season to taste, then remove from heat.
