Time 1h

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.
  • Add the onions and chilies and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the paprika, cayenne and cumin and continue to saute until the onions are tender, a few minutes longer. Add the lentils, tomatoes and tomato puree and water just to cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the squash and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Add the greens during the last five minutes of cooking. Transfer to a warm serving dish and serve immediately.

This tagine was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Made this tagine last night and it was delicious! So cozy and comforting on a cold winter's day. I added a bit of extra harissa for a touch of heat, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again.
