Instructions
1
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a large pot of salted water.
- Peel the potato and chop into 2cm chunks. Boil until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
- Once cooked, drain and return to the pot off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter if you like and a little water or milk.
- Mash until smooth then season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

- Add the chopped tomatoes, Worcester sauce and half the Italian herbs (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Simmer for 5-7 mins, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
4
- Spoon the lentils into an oven dish (around 23cm x 15cm is ideal for 2p).
