I was looking at all of the beautiful winter squash at the farmer's market but at the same time I had a craving for Indian food. Looking around online, this recipe was the most appealing, since it has both a lot of veggies and some protein sources. I personally like it a bit spicy to clear out the sinuses in winter. I have altered the recipe for this from the one here a little bit. That website calls this a North Indian recipe -I honestly have no idea. If you're feeling ambitious, you could make breads to go along with it, but I personally liked it quite a bit served on basmati rice cooked with a single star anise pod. Ingredients: 1 Tbsp oil, 1 Tbsp butter 1 large onion, in thin slices 1/2 large butternut squash, skinned 3/4 c. red lentils 3-4 c. water or broth 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 3/4 c. greens (spinach/arugala/etc.) Juice of 1 lemon 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro 2 Tsbp. chopped mint Spice mixture (best if you use whole and grind them) 1/...
