Step 1

Finely dice 2 medium yellow onions (2 1/2 cups). Heat 2 tablespoons sunflower oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened and browned, stirring occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, finely dice 2 medium celery stalks (1/2 cup) and finely chop 4 garlic cloves. Fill a kettle or medium saucepan with at least 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil, then take off the heat.

Step 2

Add the celery, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger to the pan. Stir well and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add 3 cups of the boiled water and 3/4 cup dried split red lentils, and stir to combine. Cover and cook until softened and all the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

Grind 1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron strands in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, or crumble finely with your fingers. Transfer to a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the boiled water and 1 pinch granulated sugar, and smash together with the back of a spoon; set aside to steep. Peel 12 ounces butternut squash and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (2 1/2 cups). Halve 8 dried apricots. Drain and rinse 1 (about 15-ounce) can chickpeas.

Step 5

Add the saffron liquid, squash, chickpeas, apricots, 2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, 1 (15-ounce) can tomatoes and their juices, 1/4 cup uncooked white rice, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the squash is completely soft and beginning to melt into the stew, 25 to 30 minutes. Add more broth 1/4 cup at a time as needed if the stew is dry. Meanwhile, finely chop 1/4 medium bunch fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems until you have about 1/4 cup.

Step 7

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the cilantro for garnish. Add the remaining cilantro and 3 tablespoons olive oil to the stew and stir to combine. Taste and season as needed with more kosher salt, black pepper, or lemon juice. Serve garnished with the reserved cilantro and Aleppo pepper or other red pepper flakes if desired.
