Chef tips
For lentils that are tender yet hold their shape, add the tahini only at the very end. Stir gently to preserve the rich texture of the legumes and vegetables. For a festive touch, top with toasted pine nuts. Kids can help drizzle raw tahini over the dish; it adds a beautiful look and extra depth of flavor to every bite.
