- 3 Lb (1.35 Kg) butternut squash
- 1 Lb (450 g) golden potatoes
- 1/2 Lb (225 g) dried Beluga lentils (black lentils)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 sprig fresh dill
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- to taste table salt
SAUTEED ONION AND GARLIC
First of all, peel the onion then reduce it into slices. After that, peel and crush 2 cloves of garlic. Now, pour 4 tbsp of olive oil into a bottom-thickened heavy pot. Place the pot eventually over medium/low heat and saute the onion and garlic along with the Cayenne pepper until golden and translucent, stirring occasionally.
HOW TO COOK BELUGA LENTILS
Place another pot full of water over medium/high heat and bring to boil, then rinse the Beluga black lentils and boil 15 mins until done, but still in shape. Finally, place the pot far from the heat and let the lentils rest into their water.
SQUASH AND POTATOES
Peel the squash, reduce into dices and discard any seeds and tough parts. Now, Peel and dice the potatoes. Once the onion and garlic are done, add the potatoes, and squash, and turmeric powder; stir well, then add hot water, just the quantity to cover the vegetables. Finally, cover the pot and set the flame to let the soup gently simmer about 1 hour, until the squash and potatoes are well done and soft.
