Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the diced carrot, parsnip, and sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and coriander, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the rinsed lentils, quinoa, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the lentils and quinoa are tender.
- 4.While the pilaf cooks, prepare the drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice. Gradually whisk in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 5.Once the pilaf is cooked, gently fold in the roasted root vegetables, chopped parsley, and mint. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- 6.Serve the pilaf warm in bowls, drizzled generously with the lemon-tahini sauce.
