I loved this dish, very tasty! However, despite cutting the pumpkin into small pieces, 10 mins into cooking (as per instructions), it was still raw. It was only after about 60 mins in the oven before I could put the cream and lentils in. Dinner was served late, but luckily it was good, so it was worth the wait.

Hi Charlotte, We haven’t tested the recipe like this, but you could use either yellow or red dried lentils. Be sure to cook them first then add them into this recipe when require. Hope this helps!

Can i substitute yellow or red dried lentils ?? does it effect liquid content & cooking time ? thank you

Hi Farlie, To replace the single (pouring) cream, we recommend using coconut cream as it has a thicker consistency than coconut milk and almond milk. Hope this helps! DH Team

Is it possible to swap the pouring cream for coconut milk or almond milk? I’m looking for a vegan alternative? Thanks
