Creamy gorgonzola pairs perfectly with roasted squash. It melts on contact with lentils and squash.
The mixture of herbs, lemon and garlic enhances the taste of this dish and gives it a certain freshness.
And with lentils rich in fiber and vegetable protein, this vegetarian dish is complete and balanced.
It is an original and super economical treat. It is the ideal dish for the evening.
In my house, everyone loves this gourmet recipe. I have prepared it several times and the success is always the same.
- Don't worry if you don't have all the herbs:take what you have! And better yet, pick the ones you like best. I never use the same herbs and it's a new recipe every time! And even without sage, this dish remains excellent.
- If you don't have gorgonzola, you can use Roquefort cheese. This cheese with a strong taste highlights the sweet flavors of the butternut.
- You can cook lentils and butternut squash ahead of time. When it's time to eat, all you have to do is add the seasonings, the cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and warm everything up for a few minutes in the oven. Handy, isn't it?
- To make it even easier, you can use ready-made contact lenses.
