Ingredients

1 medium delicata squash
1 cup chopped red onion
3 cups sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
1 cup chopped orange sweet pepper
2 tsp. dried sage, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp. smoked paprika
¼ tsp. black pepper
Sea salt, to taste (optional)
3 cups vegetable stock
1½ cups beluga lentils, rinsed and drained
½ cup unsweetened apple juice

Instructions

Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Do not peel. Cut squash into ¼-inch thick slices.
In a large skillet cook squash and onion over medium 2 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add the next six ingredients (through black pepper). Cook and stir 2 minutes more. If desired, season with salt.
Stir in stock and lentils. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Stir in apple juice; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes more or until mixture is thick and lentils are tender. (If the mixture becomes too dry, gradually add a little water to moisten.)
