Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan bake and set aside a large casserole dish.

Prep the ingredients for the filling: peel and chop the onion into small pieces; peel and crush the garlic; cut the skin off the pumpkin, remove the seeds and chop into bite size pieces; peel and chop the kumara into bit size pieces.

Step 3.
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften and caramelise.

Add the crushed garlic, pumpkin, kumara and 1/2 cup of stock. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the pumpkin and kumara begin to soften. Add more stock as needed.

While the kumara and pumpkin are cooking, prepare the crumble by combining all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stirring well.

Drain the lentils and add to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper. Allow to come to a simmer then remove from the heat.
