  • 3 chopped Carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups Brown Lentils
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 Small Squash
  • 1 Cup Cashews
  • 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

1
Begin by roasting the squash.
2
shred it into thin crescents and trickle with a little cooking oil and strew with sea seasoning.
3
I added a pure little sage I had in the fridge, but it’s unnecessary.
4
dehydrated-fry the squash a 205 C (400 F) for 20-30 moments, flipping halfway through, until soft and golden.
5
Let cool and chop into cubes.
6
Meanwhile, rinse the lentils and lid them with moisture.
7
Bring them to the bring to a low-boil then turn down to a low-boil and let make (uncovered) for 20-30 moments, or until succulent.
8
sieve and set aside.
9
While the lentils are culinary preparation toasty the 1 Tbsp.
10
of cooking oil on low in a medium pot.
11
introduce the onions and leeks and sauté for 5 or so moments, or until they begin to soften.
12
introduce the garlic next along with the cumin and coriander, culinary preparation for a few more moments.
13
introduce the remaining spices – paprika, cinnamon, chilli, cocoa, Worcestershire condiment dip, seasoning, and oregano.
14
Next introduce the can of tomatoes, the moisture or stock, and carrots.
15
Let low-boil, covered, for 20 moments or until the veg is succulent and the mixture has thickened up.
16
You’ll need to check on the pot periodically for a swirl around and a top of of liquid if needed.
17
introduce the lentils and finely sliced roasted squash.
18
Let make for 10 more moments to toasty through.
19
present with sliced jalapeno, lime wedges, cilantro, green onions, and cashew tart heavy cream.
20
SIMPLE CASHEW tart heavy cream 1 Cup Raw Unsalted Cashews Pinch Sea seasoning 1 tsp.
21
Apple Cider acetic liquid moisture Bring some moisture to the bring to a low-boil, and use it to soak the cashews for at least four hours.
22
Alternatively, you can use cold moisture and let the cashews soak overnight, but I’m forgetful/lazy, so often use the bring to a low-boil method which is much faster.
23
After the cashews have soaked, sieve them and introduce to a high speed blender.
24
Begin to puree, bit by bit adding about 1/2 cup pure moisture, until a velvety consistency is reached.
25
You may need to introduce less or more moisture to reach the desired consistency.
26
introduce a pinch of sea seasoning and acetic liquid (or lemon nectar).
