Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 14.1-ounce can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 14.1-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 ¼ cups vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion and pepper on a medium setting until softened — about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika, and fry for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, then fill the can about halfway with water and pour this in, too.
  4. Add all the remaining ingredients and give everything a good stir.
  5. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and leave to cook for 20 minutes.
  6. Serve with rice, fresh coriander, and lime wedges, if desired.
