Notes from the kitchen
- Cut squash into uniform small cubes so it cooks at the exact same rate as the lentils.
- A dash of lemon juice added right before serving brightens the rich savory flavors of the stew.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Argentinian; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
