Rich, sweet, savoury, creamy, nutty and slightly spicy – this stew hits all my comfort food buttons. You’ve got to try it!
I have made and adapted this recipe a number of times, sometimes using sweet potato rather than butternut squash (equally as good) and a variety of greens work well; kale, spinach or cabbage greens are all good.
My inspiration to make this today comes from a recently discovered Ethiopian restaurant (Blue Nile its amazing. Review coming soon!) and their delicious comforting lentil dishes.
I don’t think you need to serve the stew with anything as it’s so rich and satisfying, however it would be delicious with flatbreads and a salad.

Did you know that I have a new cookbook?
It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!

I made this recipe about 3 weeks ago, exactly to the ingredients . Only difference was that I cooked the butternut squash & green beans separately & then added them to the rest when they were cooked al dente.
Also I may have added a bit more chilli. It lasted 3 nights & we had it with brown rice.
Delicious.
Tonight I am going to cook it again, using sweet potato instead of butternut squash.
Love your tweaks, sounds delicious!
My best

[…] I’ve got a lot of Butternut Squash recipes. Some of my favourite’s are roast squash with Chickpeas and Tahini dressing, soup, raw in salads and I think it’s very good in spicy dishes like my Butternut Squash, Lentil & Peanut Stew. […]
