Hi, Guys,<\/p>\n

together! This dish is perfect for someone who has a real passion and<\/p>\n

time for being playful with the food.<\/p>\n

I love this combination, the lightness and flavors in this salad. It takes a<\/p>\n

little more time to make but all that time spent preparing it is all worth it,<\/p>\n

and you will love the result too!!<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n

190 g puy lentils<\/p>\n

1 baby shallot<\/p>\n

50 \u2013 70 g of Butternut Squash<\/p>\n

20 g radish<\/p>\n

30 g carrots<\/p>\n

20 g cucumber<\/p>\n

1 clove of garlic<\/p>\n

1 tbsp. of smoked paprika<\/p>\n

salt and pepper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pure<\/strong><\/p>\n

120 g Butternut Squash<\/p>\n

1 large mandarin<\/p>\n

140 ml of coconut milk<\/p>\n

200 ml of water<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

White Cr\u00e8me Dressing<\/strong><\/p>\n

50 g vegan cr\u00e8me fresh<\/p>\n

15 g fresh chive<\/p>\n

15 g almond, hazelnut or any milk (choice it up to you) (the choice is yours)<\/p>\n

\u00bd tbsp. of dark agave syrup<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For this salad planning ahead is necessary. I soaked the lentils over night,<\/p>\n

changing the water three times during a next day. Cooking the lentils till<\/p>\n

the water starts to boil, strain off the water, repeating the process once<\/p>\n

more. Put the cooked and cooled lentils into a bowl.<\/p>\n

While the lentils are cooking, peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds<\/p>\n

and cut the butternut into the small cubes (note: if you do not want to use<\/p>\n

the whole butternut, you might be able to buy ready cut butternut cubes at<\/p>\n

your local organic shop). The next step is to place the butternut squash<\/p>\n

cubes into the non-stick baking dish, mix in the smoked paprika, thyme<\/p>\n

and crushed garlic. Roast in a preheated oven at 180oC till soft, but not<\/p>\n

too well done. Allow it to cool down then add it into the bowl with the<\/p>\n

lentils.<\/p>\n

This salad contains more lovely vegetables such as radish, cucumber and<\/p>\n

carrots all roughly grated. Finally, I pan fry finely chopped shallots in<\/p>\n

cooking olive oil till they become golden, and add them to the bowl.<\/p>\n

Next thing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Puree:<\/em><\/p>\n

Put the butternut squash cut into small cubes into a saucepan, add<\/p>\n

mandarin zest, juice, coconut milk and water. Cook it slowly until the<\/p>\n

butternut is very soft.<\/p>\n

When cooked, strain and blend for 3-5 minutes till very smooth. Season<\/p>\n

to your taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and also add<\/p>\n

about 10 drops of cider vinegar for a little kick to it. Mix it well together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dressing:<\/em><\/p>\n

Make the dressing by mixing vegan cr\u00e8me fresh with milk, agave syrup<\/p>\n

and fine chopped chives.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
