Red lentil dal with butternut squash from Ottolenghi by Yotam Ottolenghi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute golden squash for butternut squash.

    We found the dal to be shockingly bland on its own. Shocking because I've loved every Ottolenghi recipe I've ever made until now. I do love the squash and kale topping and will happily make that as a stand alone dish. Editing to add: when mixed together, the combination is good.

    This is really good, better than the average dal.
