Every so often, I feel like making a vegetarian dish. The trick though is to make one tasty enough that the meat eaters don’t realise that there’s no meat in it! Something like a curry tends to do the trick as it is substantial and flavourful.
This recipe uses lentils for protein and the pumpkin helps to make the dish more substantial.
