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.... 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.

Julie Last week

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

Angela 4 weeks 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 Last month

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 4 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 4 months ago

I used tinned lentils and want to try it next time with dried lentils

Kahn 4 months ago

Almost missed the tomatoes as the words are in green

Very tasty

Gill 4 months ago

It's easier to mix oil and spices then coat cauliflower with the mix?

Alexandra 5 months ago

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