    Here you go natbags ... (credit to RikkiC of grocery challenge for this):

    Ingredients:
    1 Onion
    1 Medium carrot
    2 Cloves of garlic
    1 Medium potato
    1 Medium tomato
    1 cup of red lentils
    1 tin of butter beans
    2 tbsp Olive Oil
    1 tbsp Tomato Puree
    1 tbsp Paprika
    1 tsp Allspice, Ground Coriander, Parsley, sugar/honey
    1/2 tsp chilli flakes, tarragon, rosemary, sea salt
    2 chicken/veg stock cube
    Dash of lemon juice
    water to cover


    Finely dice all vegetables, chop tomato into large chunks
    Fry onion and carrot in olive oil in a saucepan, on low heat, with a tight fitting lid for 15-20 minutes
    Add all other ingredients besides water, to a casserole dish or into the same pan as the onions and carrots if you used a big pan anyway.
    Stir paprika into onion and carrot mixture, add to casserole
    Add water to just cover everything
    Cook at 170 C for 1 hour and 20 minutes, stirring occasionally or on the hob simmering for 40 minutes.
    Add extra water if casserole is dry and serve with rice


    I used tinned tomatoes, sweet potato, coriander instead or oregano and allseason as has no allspice
