Ingredients

  • 1 tbls Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion

  • 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 trickle with a little shortening and dust with sea table salt.
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 moments, flipping halfway through, until soft and golden.
5
Let cool and chop into cubes.
6
Meanwhile, rinse the lentils and lid them with liquid.
7
Bring them to the bring to a bubble gently then turn down to a bubble gently and let bubble gently (uncovered) for 20-30 moments, or until soft.
8
strain and set aside.
9
While the lentils are culinary preparation bring to temperature the 1 Tbsp.
10
of shortening on low in a medium pot.
11
toss in the onions and leeks and sauté for 5 or so moments, or until they begin to soften.
12
toss in the garlic next along with the cumin and coriander, culinary preparation for a few more moments.
13
toss in the remaining spices – paprika, cinnamon, chilli, cocoa, Worcestershire condiment dip, table salt, and oregano.
14
Next toss in the can of tomatoes, the liquid or stock, and carrots.
15
Let bubble gently, covered, for 20 moments or until the veg is soft and the mixture has thickened up.
16
You’ll need to check on the pot periodically for a agitate and a top of of liquid if needed.
17
toss in the lentils and minced roasted squash.
18
Let bubble gently for 10 more moments 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 table salt 1 tsp.
21
Apple Cider acidic solution liquid Bring some liquid to the bring to a bubble gently, 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 bubble gently method which is much faster.
23
After the cashews have soaked, strain them and toss in to a high speed blender.
24
Begin to puree, bit by bit adding about 1/2 cup raw liquid, until a heavy consistency is reached.
25
You may need to toss in less or more liquid to reach the desired consistency.
26
toss in a pinch of sea table salt and acidic solution (or lemon extract).
