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
carve it into thin crescents and trickle with a little fat and strew with sea seasoning.
3
I added a crisp little sage I had in the fridge, but it’s unnecessary.
4
toast 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 put a lid on them with liquid.
7
Bring them to the heat to boiling point then turn down to a low-boil and let make (uncovered) for 20-30 moments, or until soft.
8
sieve and set aside.
9
While the lentils are making mildly hot the 1 Tbsp.
10
of fat on low in a medium pot.
11
mix in the onions and leeks and sauté for 5 or so moments, or until they begin to soften.
12
mix in the garlic next along with the cumin and coriander, making for a few more moments.
13
mix in the remaining spices – paprika, cinnamon, chilli, cocoa, Worcestershire condiment dip, seasoning, and oregano.
14
Next mix in the can of tomatoes, the liquid or stock, and carrots.
15
Let low-boil, 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
mix in the lentils and cut up roasted squash.
18
Let make for 10 more moments to mildly hot through.
19
offer 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 heat to boiling point, 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 heat to boiling point method which is much faster.
23
After the cashews have soaked, sieve them and mix in to a high speed blender.
24
Begin to puree, bit by bit adding about 1/2 cup crisp liquid, until a creamy consistency is reached.
25
You may need to mix in less or more liquid to reach the desired consistency.
26
mix in a pinch of sea seasoning and acidic solution (or lemon liquid).
