Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. In a saucepan, combine lentils, pumpkin, bay leaves, and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until softened, about 25 minutes. Then remove the bay leaves.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the mustard and thyme in a small bowl and rub over the pork. Place the pork on a baking sheet and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (65°C), 20 to 25 minutes.
