Directions
Step 1
Sauté mirepoix mix, ginger and garlic in a saucepan (or your slow cooker pot if it’s stovetop safe) until onions begin to be translucent (about 3-5 minutes). Then add in spices and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until fragrant.
Step 2
Next, add your sautéed mixture to the slow cooker along with the butternut squash, red lentils, broth and coconut milk. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6. Lentils and butternut squash should be soft and cooked through. Test to make sure.
Step 3
Enjoy on its own or with some crusty bread and arugula salad. Garnish with cilantro for a bright pop of flavor.
