Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
Put the cauliflower florets onto a baking tray. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle over the spices and a pinch of salt and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15-17 mins until tender and golden brown.
To make the lentils, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the spices, stir to coat, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and lentils. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, until darkened and reduced. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Top the lentil mixture with the cauliflower and serve with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime.

Quick, simple and super flavours. Really nice combination of textures and flavours. Only deviation was that I added some tempeh to the lentil and tomato. Great weeknight dinner you can throw together in no time at all.
This was so tasty. A great mid-week meal as it was really easy & quick. I used dried lentils. I also added crumbled tofu for my protein to the cauliflower & spices. Served with quinoa.
Also added some peppers and mushrooms, plus the feta suggested elsewhere. Very tasty with black beans instead.
Was good. Based on other comments, we added feta which was lovely. I also didn't reduce the tonato/lentil mixture too much so it wasn't too dry.
Delicious. I added some crumbled feta to counter balance the heat and used Aleppo pepper flakes instead of generic chilli flakes. I might try adding a few raisins or flaked almonds (or both next time) or a handful of sundried tomatoes finely chopped for that little bit of extra something.
Spot on
I have cooked twice and really enjoyed it.
Enjoyed the Smokey flavour of the cauliflower but overall it was a bit dry. I’ll make more of the lentil mixture next time.
I used tinned lentils and want to try it next time with dried lentils
Almost missed the tomatoes as the words are in green
Very tasty
It's easier to mix oil and spices then coat cauliflower with the mix?
Really nice way of having cauliflower. I usually roast it whole but this way meant there was more flavour .
