Ingredients

  • 1 butternut
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 3 chopped shallots
  • 1 T butter
  • Olive oil
  • 1 T curry powder
  • 4 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 1 cup red lentils

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel and cut butternut into bite-sized cubes, then toss with olive oil and cloves crushed garlic. Roast for 40 minutes, or until tender.

Place chopped shallots in a pan with butter and a little drizzle of olive oil. Soften over a low heat for 5 minutes, then stir in curry powder and fresh curry leaves and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add coconut milk, vegetable stock and red lentils and gently simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked. Serve hot with the caramelised butternut.
