Method
-
Heat the oven to 200°C fan. Toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of oil, the cumin and plenty of salt. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until caramelised at the edges.
About 35 minutes
-
Meanwhile, simmer the lentils in plenty of unsalted water for 22 minutes until tender but not collapsing. Drain well.
About 22 minutes
-
Put the onion in a bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of salt while everything else cooks. It will turn pink and lose its bite.
About 10 minutes
-
Fold the warm lentils through the onion and its vinegar with the last tablespoon of oil. Add the squash, rocket and parsley, and scatter over the feta and seeds.
About 3 minutes
Tips and storage
Tinned lentils work if you are short of time: drain and rinse two tins and skip step two.
