Instructions

1
You can start by making the yogurt sauce. In a bowl add the yogurt, half a chopped garlic clove, juice from half a lemon, pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well and taste to see if it needs more salt or lemon. Set aside.
2
Chop the onion, bell pepper, and pumpkin into medium size cubes.
3
Add some olive oil to a pan and once it's hot add the vegetables. Cook the veggies on medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. Add the drained lentils to the pan. Gently mix and cook on low heat for 4-5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt to the ingredients.
4
Cut the bread into triangles and put them to toast.
5
Serve the sauté on a plate accompanied by the toasted bread. Pour some of the yogurt sauce on top before enjoying.
