Ingredients
- 150.3 g Bison, ground, grass-fed, raw
- 367.9 g Kabocha squash, peeled and cubed
- 60 g More than Pasta® Red Lentil Pasta
- 15 g Garlic, raw, minced
- 10 g Berbere seasoning blend
- 100 g Watermelon lemonade (used for sweet/acid balance)
- 1 tbsp (14g) Olive oil
Method
- 01Preheat oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C). Toss cubed kabocha squash with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt on a sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
- 02While squash roasts, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook red lentil pasta until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- 03In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground bison and sauté, breaking it into crumbles, until deeply browned and fragrant.
- 04Stir in the minced garlic and berbere spice blend. Toast the spices for 1 minute until highly aromatic, ensuring the bison is thoroughly coated.
- 05Pour in the watermelon lemonade to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 3 minutes until the liquid reduces into a thick, glaze-like sauce.
- 06Fold in the cooked pasta and roasted squash. Toss gently to combine, letting the ingredients warm through.
- 07Plate the stew in a shallow bowl, ensuring the vibrant orange squash and dark spiced bison are evenly distributed. Serve hot.
