Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower with Smoky Puy Lentils

Roasting the cauliflower with spices and a little oil helps give it a really delicious charred flavour that you don’t get from other cooking methods.<...br />
Using pre-soaked or tinned lentils helps to speed up the cooking time and keep this dish super easy to make. Lentils are also a great source of plant based protein, fibre and count to one of your 5-a-day.

By reducing the tinned tomatoes down with paprika and cumin, you get a really rich sauce that gives the lentils plenty of flavour.

Again, this is a great dish to make for dinner and then have left-overs the next day for lunch.

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.

Julie 5 months ago

Also added some peppers and mushrooms, plus the feta suggested elsewhere. Very tasty with black beans instead.

Angela 6 months ago

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.

Rachel 6 months ago

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.

I have cooked twice and really enjoyed it.

Kate 8 months ago

Enjoyed the Smokey flavour of the cauliflower but overall it was a bit dry. I’ll make more of the lentil mixture next time.

Louise 8 months ago

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?

Alexandra 10 months ago

Really nice way of having cauliflower. I usually roast it whole but this way meant there was more flavour .
