Chop a mixture of veggies anything you like,(courgettes, peppers, onions, broccoli, mushrooms, celery, leeks anything at all really, but make sure they are chopped small and about the same size so they cook evenly.
Add a couple of garlic cloves, cook in a frying pan until softened, it depends what veg you use as to how long it takes.
In another saucepan cook 180g Puy or green lentils in 750mls water for 20 - 30 mins or until soft, drain and set aside.
When the veggies are almost cooked add 2 x 400g cans of chopped tomatoes, 300g curly kale, 2tsp cajun seasoning or to taste, and salt, cook, stirring occasionally for 10 mins or until the kale is just tender. Stir in the lentils and 1 x 400g can red kidney beans, (drained and rinsed) check the seasoning.
Spoon the mix into baking dishes, we make enough for several meals top with mashed potatoes and sprinkle cheese over, bake in the oven Gas 5, 190deg C for 20mins until brown and bubbling. It freezes very well.
My OH likes me to put baked beans on the top of the mix before adding the mash (dont ask me why)
