Instrukcje
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking tray, toss the cubed butternut squash with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the squash roasts, rinse the lentils. Place them in a saucepan with 500ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.
- 3.Pat the lamb steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 15ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked through (well-done is recommended for pregnancy). Remove from pan, let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
- 4.In the same skillet, add the remaining 15ml of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped kale and a splash of water, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
- 5.In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted squash, cooked lentils, wilted kale mixture, and sliced lamb.
- 6.Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the bowl, add the chopped fresh mint or parsley, and toss everything together gently. Serve warm.
