Squash Goulash

Main Courses  

Ingredients

1 Onions
1 Red peppers
1 Garlic cloves
400 gm Squash
100 gm Carrots
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Caraway seed
85 gm Red lentils
450 ml Stock
4 Tbsp Tomato puree
1 tsp Granulated white sugar
Salt
Black pepper
1 Tbsp Olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 180�C.

Peel the squash and chop into slices or chunks. Thickly slice the carrot. Chop the onion. Cut the red pepper into chunks.

Heat the oil and fry the chopped onion until lightly browned. Add the red pepper, chopped garlic, paprika and caraway seeds and cook stirring for 1 minute. Add the squash, carrot, lentils, stock, tomato puree, sugar and seasoning. Bring to the boil. Cover and cook in the oven for about 1 hour or until the vegetables are soft.

Serve with creme fraiche and a sprinkling of paprika.

Notes

I usually use a bit more paprika and caraway than the recipe specifies.

Other vegetables can be used although the squash is necessary.

This freezes very well.
