Ingredients

  • 200g lentils
  • 160g sweet potato
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 80g courgette
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sweetcorn and courgette, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cube the sweet potato and roast at 200°C for 25 minutes until soft and caramelised.

  3. 3

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Coat the protein generously in Cajun seasoning. Mix the yoghurt with lemon juice and a pinch of the spice to make a cooling dip.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the sweetcorn and courgette for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: sweet potato first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.
