Method

 
Pre-heat your braai grill. In a microwave-proof dish, microwave the butternut on high for 9-10 minutes until cooked through and can be easily pierced with a knife.

Drizzle the butternut with 1-2 Tbsp olive oil and coat with the spices. Put the dish with the butternut onto a baking sheet covered with a double layer of tinfoil (this defers some of the heat) and place on your braai grid. Cook for a further 15 minutes with the lid down, then remove the butternut from the dish and cook for 1-2 minutes directly on the grid to add more braai flavour.

Into a bowl, add the lentils, chopped red onion and then rough chunks of the roasted butternut. Stir through the mint and dressing, and season well with salt and pepper.
