◗Ingredients:
2 squashes (butternut squash/ acorn squash)
1 onion
3 carrots
1 large zucchini
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 cup of lentils
1 cup of millet
1 tbs salt
1 tbs pepper
1 tbs paprika
1 tbs cumin
◗Procedures:
1. Cut the squash in half and empty out the seeds. Then steam the squash for 15-20 minutes in a pot.
2.Meanwhile cook the stuffing for the squash: Start by heating up a pan with a splash of water, add the onion and carrot and cook it for 3-5 minutes until onion become translucent, add water as needed to deglaze the pan. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, next add in the millet, spinach, and spices, mix them in and let it cook for a final 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove the squashes from the pot after steaming them for 15-20 minutes (They should be cooked half way)
* If you are using butternut squash like me remove some of the squash meat using a spoon to have space to stuff it, keep what you remove to eat separately, I like using it in a soup.
4. Add the cooked lentils into the stuffing mixture and stuff the squashes.
5.Put on a pan and pop it in the oven at 350 degrees and for 20 minutes to let everything cook well and for the flavors to blend.
6. Take it out, let it cool down for a bit and enjoy. I like having it with some salad on the side.
