What each ingredient does
- Yams
- Starch softens during baking, giving a tender, filling body to the dish.
- Dried lentils
- Absorb liquid as they cook, softening and adding protein and body to the dish.
- Tempeh
- Firm protein that holds its shape and absorbs the surrounding flavors.
- Honey
- Adds sweetness and helps the surface brown slightly during baking.
- Cider vinegar
- Adds acidity that brightens the dish and balances the sweetness.
- Pineapple
- Adds sweetness, acidity and juice that keeps the dish moist.
The step that matters
Baking covered with dried lentils. Dried lentils must absorb enough liquid to cook through over the long bake. Covering the dish traps moisture, so the lentils soften rather than dry out, and stirring helps the pieces cook evenly.
