Instructions

1. Spread 1 tablespoon of oil in a coated pan. Heat and fry the meat strips briefly and vigorously on all sides. Lightly salt and pepper and remove.
2. Heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the diced pumpkin (with skin) and the leek cut into thin rings and fry briefly. Add the lentils and pour the stock or water over them. Add spices, garlic and herbs. Place the seared turkey pieces on top, cover with a splash cover and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes. Season to taste, add the lime juice and the roughly chopped walnuts.
3. This dish tastes almost as delicious without meat and is still wholesome because the lentils contain a lot of protein. For children, curry powder and chilli are left out or only used very little.
