Easy Weeknight Pumpkin Dahl (Vegan + Gluten Free)

March 27, 2019 · In: Main Dishes

This is my go-to weeknight dahl recipe! Mainly because it’s super easy to make and I don’t know about you but I usually like to make quick meals during the week. A big batch of this delicous dahl will probably last you a few days and is perfect to take to lunch or to enjoy the following few nights.

Whats the health benifits?

Well the main reason I love dahl (besides being increadibly delishh) is its made using red lentils= high fibre!

I’m all about eating high fibre food in my diet for a number of reasons… It helps lower cholesterol, is great for your digestive health by preventing constipation and digestive disorders, will help stabilize blood sugar levels as it’s slow digesting which is especially great for diabetes. Lenitls are also a great source of protein!

Enjoy the goodness xx

Serves 4-5

Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 15-20mins

​What you will need to Gather:

  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/4  cup fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp. curry powder (mild)
  • 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 veggie stock cube (try to find reduced salt)
  • 1 cup red lentils 
  • 3 cups pumpkin or sweet potato, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can (400mls) coconut milk
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1-2 handfuls of fresh spinach leaves

Toppings:
Coriander
Chilli flakes
Lime

How to make:

1. Finely dice the onion and add it to a medium to large saucepan or crock-pot. Add in a small amount or water or olive oil and cook on a medium heat until soft.

2. Add garlic, curry powder, and ginger and stir into the onion (you may need to add more water at this stage as it starts to stick). Add lentils, nutritional yeast, stock cube and water and stir together then add pumpkin, coconut milk and tomatoes. Let simmer on a low heat for 15-20 mins or until pumpkin is very soft with lid half on stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to bottom.

3. Once it’s cooked, turn off heat mash the pumpkin with spoon so it’s all combined and add in spinach leaves.

4. Serve with brown or white basmati rice and add toppings! Store left overs in fridge. Also perfect to take to lunch the next day.

Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfa Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfast but with some extra goodness to boost your nutrient intake! I topped with antioxidant rich blueberry compote (frozen blueberries cooked in the saucepan with a splash of water) + sliced banana + coconut + hemp seeds. I cook about 1/2 cup of oats with water until it thickens up->then add 1 tbsp. Chia seeds + with small soy milk to get them extra creamy! I also added a bit of coyo coconut yoghurt at the end! 
❀Oats are a great way to start your day as they contain fibre and protein to keep you satisfied for longer and may help with blood sugar control. 
❀Because blueberries are high in vitamin C, it increases the absorption of the iron in oats 👌🏼

What’s your favourite toppings to have with oats?! Xx
