  Nice recipe, made it to last two lunches. All the protein did a great job of keeping hunger away. Also I used a bit less oil and 'skinny' feta so calorie content was a bit better than published.

  Delicious! I roasted the butternut in the oven, together with the inions and olive oil, then simply poured over the cooked lentils. Love the rasted flavour, sweet and fiery, great with the salty feta. All the flavours came together beautifully and it was really easy to make. Would also be good as a fancy warm starter.

  wasn't sure if this was going to be nice but it was just delicious!! we had it with salmon steak. think it would go with most things. used less oil and low fat feta as already recommended but apart from that followed the instructions and it turned out great! i thought i didnt like parsley but after this i will try using it again. agree with Dita - could defo be used as a starter or even by itself for lunch!

  Easy and tasty - we had it with sausages, but we felt it was a little dry and lacked something acidic or sweet to round off the flavours - maybe something like roasted tomatoes?

  Really really delicious - the feta goes so well with the butternut squash. I cooked it as a main course with crispy, skin-on chicken breast on top which went very well. It all got a bit dry during the cooking process (the squash took a lot longer to cook than I thought, despite chopping it up fairly small), so keep a kettle nearby to add a splash of water. Don't over season it as the stock from the lentils and the feta will provide the dish with plenty of saltiness. Delish - maybe a squeeze of lemon on top at the end would be good?

  This was tasty, but the squash takes a lot longer than 10 mins to cook. I would be tempted to roast it in the oven with the onion as suggested by one of the other comments.

  YUM! Cheap, filling and healthy without changing a thing. We ate it with roasted mixed mediterranean veg and salad. Definitely going to return to this.
