Sttemit cullinary challenge #43: Savoury dish. Chestnut-pumpkin lentils stew.

Heyyy cullinary Friends!!

Finally I could put a couple of hours together to prepare my cullinary challenge dish and post!! I tough I was going to get out of time!!

According to this week’s theme, I allways loved a very tyical autumn product in Galicia (northwest spain) where my mother is from, and I spent most of my chilhood summers…

Chestnuts!

I remember my mother roasting chestnuts in autumn since I started rememnering things, so what better than this to inspire my dish, for this special two week challenge.

For my savoury dish, I made a pumpkin and lentil vegetarian stew.

Here in Spain, lentils are traditionally cooked with a lot of pig products, chorizo, morcilla, tocino... but I made a really tasty veggie version, using pumpkin and chestnuts.

The ingredients:

Chestnuts 500 grams

Pumpkin 400 grms

Lentils 400 grams

1 big onion

1 leek

1 big tomato

3 garlic cloves

Olive oil

Coriander

Salt

Pepper

The process:

Roast and peel chestnuts. Peeing might be a bit annoying.

Chop the onion and leek, smash the garlic. Season and fry gently.

---

Peel the tomato and add it chopped, then add the pumpking, coriander and chestnuts.

---

Add lentils and cover with water.

---

Let it slow cooking until lentils are ready.

Enjoy!!

I hope you like it!!

I’ll be posting the sweet part of my autumn meal shortly.

Good luck to every contestant and special thanks to @woman-onthe-wing and all people involved for making posible the contest!!

Steeeeeeem!!
