Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).

Rinse the dried lentils thoroughly.

Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic.

In a medium, oven-safe casserole dish or deep baking tray, combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, olive oil (20ml), smoked paprika, oregano, and crumbled stock cube with 150ml of water.

Stir well to combine the base sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer on the hob for 5 minutes to soften the onions slightly.
- Step 6
Stir in the rinsed lentils. Cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil.
- Step 7
Bake for 30 minutes until the lentils are nearly tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Step 8
Remove from the oven. Place the block of feta cheese in the centre of the lentil mixture.
- Step 9
Drizzle the remaining 10ml of olive oil over the feta and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Step 10
Return to the oven, uncovered, for a final 10 minutes, until the feta is soft and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven. Roughly chop the fresh dill and mix with the lemon juice.
