Into a large pot add the olive oil and heat on medium heat for 30 seconds before adding the onion. Cook it down for 8-10 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning.
To the pot, add the garlic, vegetable stock paste, chili spice mix, tabasco, salt and pepper. Stir till the onions are fully coasted with spices and reduce heat to low.
To the pot, add the lentils and beans. Stir till well combine, increase heat to high and diced tomatoes and the water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until the beans are extremely buttery.
Serve hot with all the gorgeous toppings listed above.
