From your kitchen

a crockpot, a sieve for rinsing the lentils, salt and pepper.

What to do

1. Rinse the lentils. Tip them into the crockpot with both cartons of broth, the tomatoes, the cumin, the onion, the garlic and the paprika.
2. Lid on. Low for 8 hours, or high for 4. Go and live your life.
3. Twenty minutes before eating, stir in the drained green beans. Salt it properly; lentils need more than you think.
4. Serve. Freeze what is left. It gets better.
