Instructions

Step 1

Cook the lentils according to the packet instructions, rinse, drain and set aside.

Stir in the lentils, squash, tahini and date syrup. Pour in the coconut milk and stir, then let the chilli simmer over a medium–low heat for 5 minutes, adding a little water if needed and stirring regularly. Add the lime juice and soy, then let it simmer for a further few minutes while stirring. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
