Steps:

• Dice the potatoes and butternut squash the same size so they cook evenly and add to the saucepan. Add the red pepper, green beans, can of tomatoes, vegetable stock and lentils. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 30mins.
• Add the chickpeas and cook a further 10 minutes. Check seasoning.
• Remove from the heat and stir in coriander and parsley.
• Serve with a small squeeze of lime, extra coriander leaves and a spoonful or two of yoghurt. Alternatively you can place each of these in small bowls on the table allowing people to serve themselves.
