Istruzioni
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Set aside.
- 2.While the squash roasts, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and toast the spices for 30 seconds.
- 4.Pour in the rinsed black lentils, vegetable broth, and light coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
- 5.Stir the roasted butternut squash and fresh spinach into the lentil curry. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted completely.
- 6.Remove from heat. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and an extra lime wedge if desired.
