Ingredients:
1 tbsp honey
75g walnuts
4 tsps dukkah
1 kg butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled and diced
1 large red bell-pepper, seeds and pith removed, diced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 tbsps olive oil
400g tin (240g drained weight) green lentils, drained and rinsed
1 large bag watercress
for the yoghurt dressing:
140g Greek yoghurt (use dairy free if preferred)
30ml extra virgin olive oil
2 tsps lemon rind, finely grated
1 tsp honey
40ml fresh lemon juice
Method:
Preheat oven to 200 ̊C/400 ̊F. Line 2-3 large oven trays with foil.
Pour the honey into a frying pan and place over a low heat. Add the walnuts and 2 tsps dukkah and stir well for one minute.
Pour the mixture onto one of the baking trays. Bake for 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
Place the squash / pumpkin, red bell-pepper and onion onto the other baking trays. Sprinkle the remaining dukkah over the top. Add the olive oil and mix well to coat.
Spread evenly over the trays. Roast the squash/pumpkin for 30-35 minutes, turning after 15 minutes of cooking time. Roast the onion and pepper for 25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes of cooking time.
Mix the yoghurt ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
Arrange the lettuce leaves and lentils in serving bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables, nuts and dressing. Serve.
