Ингредиенты
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded - seeds saved for roasting!)
- 1 cup pearl onions
- Drizzle oil (we like avocado oil)
- 1 box (1 cup size) lower in sodium broth (either vegetable or chicken)
- 1 package prepared lentils
- 1 pkg steamed garbanzo beans (we used Melissa's)
- 1/2 to 1 tsp red curry paste
- juice of 1-2 limes (about 3-4 Tbs)
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (my husband loves cilantro, hence we use a heavy hand here)
- additional cilantro and lime slices for garnish
- roasted butternut squash seeds
- prepared brown rice (optional)
