Put the lentils, barley, carrots, onion, tomatoes and their juice and stock into a saucepan.

Boil the potatoes in their skins.
Peel them as soon as they are cool enough to handle and mash them with the milk and the cheese.
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200~C/400~F.
Put the lentil mixture into a 900ml (1½ pint) pie dish.
Pile the potatoes on top in an even layer.
Make patterns on them with a fork.
Put the pie into the oven for 20 minutes or until the ridges on top begin to brown.
