Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking tray, toss the sweet potato cubes and sliced fennel with 20ml of olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables are roasting, place the rinsed lentils in a saucepan with 450ml of water and half of the minced garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water.
- 3.In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, the remaining 10ml of olive oil, the rest of the minced garlic, and 2-3 tablespoons of water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 4.Once the lentils are cooked and drained, stir in the freshly chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5.To serve, divide the herbed lentils between two plates. Top with the roasted sweet potato and fennel, and finish with a generous drizzle of the lemon-tahini dressing.
