Chef tips
To ensure the lentils stay soft without breaking apart, stir in the tahini only at the end of cooking. Mix gently to maintain the rich texture of the pulses and vegetables. For a special occasion, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Kids can help drizzle the raw tahini on top, giving the dish a lovely look and a deep, rich flavour in every bite.
