Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a pie plate with pastry, trim and crimp the edge. Refrigerate while you make the filling
  2. Put the lentils into a small saucepan and add enough water to cover by about an inch. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 12 minutes, or until very soft. Drain well and set aside to cool.
  3. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the lentils, pumpkin, cream, sugars, eggs, molasses, vanilla, spices, and salt; pulse until smooth. Pour mixture into the crust.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the filling is set but still just a little wobbly in the middle and the crust is golden. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the pie lightly with a sheet of foil as it bakes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
