Sauté the diced onions in a little oil until translucent. Press the garlic through a press and saute, season with salt and pepper. Briefly roast the diced potatoes and deglaze with the water. Add the chopped herbs, vinegar, instant stock, and Worcestershire sauce to taste and bring to a boil. Cover, leave slightly ajar, and reduce the heat slightly. After 10 minutes, add the lentils and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. Be careful, lentils tend to stick, so stir occasionally! Finally, stir in the tomato paste and season to taste.
