Ingredients

  • 1 tbls Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 chopped Leek
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tsp ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes
  • 3 cups Water
  • 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
cut it into thin crescents and stream in gently with a little fat and shower with sea seasoning.
3
I added a raw little sage I had in the fridge, but it’s unnecessary.
4
char the squash a 205 C (400 F) for 20-30 mins, flipping halfway through, until soft and golden.
5
Let cool and chop into cubes.
6
Meanwhile, rinse the lentils and seal them with liquid.
7
Bring them to the bring to a low-boil then turn down to a low-boil and let low-boil (uncovered) for 20-30 mins, or until yielding.
8
filter and set aside.
9
While the lentils are preparing bring to temperature the 1 Tbsp.
10
of fat on low in a medium pot.
11
introduce the onions and leeks and sauté for 5 or so mins, or until they begin to soften.
12
introduce the garlic next along with the cumin and coriander, preparing for a few more mins.
13
introduce the remaining spices – paprika, cinnamon, chilli, cocoa, Worcestershire gravy, seasoning, and oregano.
14
Next introduce the can of tomatoes, the liquid or stock, and carrots.
15
Let low-boil, covered, for 20 mins or until the veg is yielding and the mixture has thickened up.
16
You’ll need to check on the pot periodically for a mix gently and a top of of liquid if needed.
17
introduce the lentils and finely sliced roasted squash.
18
Let low-boil for 10 more mins to bring to temperature through.
19
dish up 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 acidic solution liquid Bring some liquid 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 liquid 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, filter them and introduce to a high speed blender.
24
Begin to puree, gently adding about 1/2 cup raw liquid, until a velvety consistency is reached.
25
You may need to introduce less or more liquid to reach the desired consistency.
26
introduce a pinch of sea seasoning and acidic solution (or lemon liquid).
