Even though our meals mostly revolve around burgers, lasagnes, and cakes, well, sometimes we eat a little better ;-)

We wanted to give you an example of a simple weeknight dinner, indulgent and good for your little body! So here it is: oven-roasted pumpkin (that melts in your mouth :-D) with spices, mustard and all... coral lentils (I'm told they contain good iron and other stuff), caramelized onions, and a fantastic chive sauce!

Steps

The pumpkin: remove the seeds and cut it into thin slices (we leave the skin on but don't eat it). Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Mix the olive oil with salt, pepper, and the spices and condiments of your choice (we used cayenne pepper, mustard, and ketchup). Mix well with the pumpkin slices to coat them evenly. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
Coral lentils: Pour them into a saucepan, cover with water, and add coarse salt. Cook for about 8 minutes after boiling. Drain.
The onions: slice them into thin strips and cook them in a saucepan with a little olive oil. Add half a glass of water and cook over medium heat until they start to caramelize and become very tender.
The chive sauce: mix the two soy yogurts in a bowl with salt, pepper, and chopped chives.
In two plates, spread a little chive sauce, add the coral lentils, onions, and slices of roasted pumpkin. You can also sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts ;)
