Sweet and sour red lentils with winter squash and black-eyed peas

sweet and sour red lentils with winter squash and black-eyed peas

I had stumbled upon this homey dish unexpectedly on a chance visit to someone’s home. I was mesmerized by the complexity of textures and flavors and asked the chef for the process. What she described to me seemed implausible and too simple. Essentially, her process could be broken down to, throw ingredients into a pot, and simmer forever, stir and temper. <br />However last weekend I was home alone, feeling a little gloomy and was staring at the sweet potatoes that I had on hand. This dish seemed like the perfect thing to make, soothing, comforting and seasonal. Following memory and instincts I put this together and was rewarded with flavorful goodness. The preferred squash to use is something sweet like butternut squash, but any other squash works as well.
