French lentils and curry are a natural, add some squash, or even some beets and it only gets better! Ingredients:
1 small squash, either butternut or 1 small acorn, works best |
1 medium onion |
2 tablespoons curry paste, whatever spice level you like |
salt |
pepper |
1/2 walnuts, chopped |
1 1/2 cups french lentils, cooked and cooled |
1/4 cilantro, chopped |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup lime juice |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 teaspoon brown mustard |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut up squash into 1 inch squares, mix with cut up onion and curry past and spread onto a cooking sheet, bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes until the squash is almost soft. add the walnuts and cook until the squash is soft. Remove from oven to cool.
2. mix together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, mustard and salt and pepper.
3. Add veggies and dressing to lentils along with the cilantro, let sit for an hour or so to blend flavours and enjoy!
4. I have in the past added cooked golden beets, or red beets and even some goat cheese bites. this is a real hit in our house!
