Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- ½ pound chorizo sausage
- 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 chipotle pepper minced
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
- 3 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup dried green lentils
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- cilantro or flat-leaf parsley for garnish
- yogurt or sour cream for topping
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter and olive oil together until simmering. Add the red onion and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Next, stir in the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the butternut squash and saute, stirring every 2 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the squash just begins to soften, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Move the squash to the side of the Dutch oven and add the chorizo. Using a wooden spoon, break the chorizo into small pieces.
- Once the chorizo is browned, about 10 minutes, stir in the crushed tomatoes, chipotle pepper, black beans and chicken broth. Lastly, add the lentils, cumin and chili powder.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover. Let cook until the butternut squash and lentils are both soft, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm with cilantro or parsley, and yogurt or sour cream.
