Easy, comforting, and nutritious, this dish is like a hug for your tummy on the days when you’re feeling a little lower in energy and need a pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Serves 4

ROAST CAULIFLOWER

DHAL

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C and line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  2. Place cauliflower florets on tray, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss to coat, then place in oven to bake for 45 minutes.
  3. To make the dhal, heat a large saucepan on stove, add coconut oil, melt, then add onion, garlic and spices, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, remove lid and cook a further 2 minutes.
  4. Add rinsed lentils, coconut milk and 2¾ cups water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are almost tender. If the mixture begins to stick then just add a little water.
  5. Season with a pinch of salt. Serve with rice and topped with roasted cauliflower, cashew nuts and fresh coriander.
