Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
2 onions, diced
3 fresh chili peppers, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup lentils
4 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup tomato puree
1 piece pumpkin squash, two pounds, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound of greens like Swiss chard, dandelion or kale, blanched 3 to 5 minutes, drained well and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the butter or oil.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been better with less pumpkin or a different type of squash.

This tagine was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The lentils and pumpkin were also a bit overcooked.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The lentils and pumpkin were cooked perfectly, and the spices were very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

This lentil and pumpkin tagine was an absolute delight! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the pumpkin added a lovely sweetness. I served it with couscous and a dollop of yogurt, and it was the perfect meal for a cold fall day.
