Ingredients
- 3 onions
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 carrots
- 500g sweet potatoes
- 400g souping mushrooms
- 200g cavolo nero
- A handful of rosemary, leaves only
- A handful of thyme, leaves only
- 400g tin of green lentils
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 500g potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 500ml boiling water
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 50 mins
Method
1. Heat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Peel the onions and thinly slice them. Peel the garlic cloves and crush or finely chop them. Scrub the carrots and the sweet potatoes and chop into small chunks. Slice the mushrooms. Trim any tough stalks away from the cavolo nero and roughly shred the leaves. Pick the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stalks and roughly chop them.
2. Pour 1 tbsp oil into a large, ovenproof pan (no ovenproof pan? See our tip below) and bring to a medium heat. Slide in the onions, garlic, carrots, rosemary and thyme along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for a further 5 mins.
3. Stir the chunks of sweet potato into the pan. Drain the lentils and fold into the pan along with the cavolo nero leaves.
4. Crumble the stock cube into a jug and pour in 500ml boiling water. Stir to dissolve, then pour the stock over the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
5. Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes clean and slice as thinly as possible into rounds. Slide into a large bowl and pour in 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle in a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well till all pieces are coated. Lightly press the vegetables in the pan down till level. Arrange the slices of potato on top of the vegetables in an even layer.
6. Slide the pan into the oven and cook for 35-40 mins, till the potatoes are golden on top and the vegetables are tender and cooked. Dig down with a serving spoon and pile the hotpot into bowls and serve.

Really great flavour - it looked a little watery, so I’d probably try it with dried lentils next time

Totally fabulous. So much flavour, amazing texture, extremely filling, easy to make, impressive on the table. I used Kale in stead of Cavolo Nero as that was what I had and it worked great. Love it and will make again and again and again. I served with pan fried wild pigeon breast, but could have quite happily eaten it on its own. Yum!
