INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180ÂșC fan bake and set aside a large casserole dish.
STEP 2
Prep the ingredients for the filling: peel and chop the onion into small pieces; peel and crush the garlic; cut the skin off the pumpkin, remove the seeds and chop into bite size pieces; peel and chop the kumara into bit size pieces.
STEP 3
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften and caramelise.
STEP 4
Add the crushed garlic, pumpkin, kumara and 1/2 cup of stock. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the pumpkin and kumara begin to soften. Add more stock as needed.
STEP 5
While the kumara and pumpkin are cooking, prepare the crumble by combining all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stirring well.
STEP 6
Drain the lentils and add to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper. Allow to come to a simmer then remove from the heat.
STEP 7
Pour the filling into the casserole dish and top with the crumble. Place in the centre of the oven to bake for about 30 minutes, or until the crumble turns a light golden colour.
STEP 8
Serve warm with a large green side salad. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
