Add the courgette and garlic and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
Add the cinnamon, oregano and tomato purée to the pan, stir well, then add the lentils and red wine. Turn up the heat to bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
After 2-3 minutes, add the water and stock powder and season well with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook gently for 15 minutes until thick and glossy.
Whilst the lentil mixture is cooking, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Peel and thickly slice the potatoes, then add these to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until almost cooked through but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
Melt the margarine in the same saucepan, and add the flour.
