Ingredients
  • drizzle olive oil
  • 1 onion peeled and sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • 15 g fresh ginger root finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Robertsons ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Robertsons coriander (ground)
  • 1 tbsp Robertsons paprika
  • 500 g pumpkin diced
  • 750 ml water
  • 1 packet (48 g) Knorr tomato base dry cook-in-sauce
  • 3 x 400 g tinned lentils
  • handful fresh coriander to garnish
  • 1 garlic bread to serve
  • edible flowers to garnish optional
Cooking Method
  1. In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil then sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and cumin seeds over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika and pumpkin. Using a wooden spoon, mix until the pumpkin cubes are coated in the spices. Add the water.

  2. Stir in the Knorr Tomato Base Dry Cook-in-Sauce, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the pumpkin is cooked, about 20 minutes.

  3. Add the drained lentils and stir until heated through. Sprinkle with the extra 1 tsp ground coriander, then leave to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with a handful of fresh coriander and, if desired, edible flowers. Enjoy with the store bought garlic bread alongside.
