Ingredients:
- 1 Cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 2 tbsp extra virgin cold-pressed rapeseed oil
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 10g maple syrup
- 25g Walnuts
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Cumin,
- 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
- 200g Green Lentils
- 150g Cherry tomatoes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 handful Parsley, Fresh
- Pinch Salt
- Pinch of cracked black pepper
For the salsa verde:
- A handful of parsley
- A handful of mint
- A handful of coriander
- 3 tbsp capers
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Malden salt
- Pinch of cracked black pepper
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees celsius.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Mix with the veg oil, chilli powder, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, then blast chill.
- Toast the walnuts in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, cook the brown lentils. Place the lentils in a large pan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes, the lentils should be soft but still have a bite to them. They should not be mushy.
- Add vegetable oil to the pan, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion starts to brown.
- Add the garlic, turmeric, cumin, salt and ginger. If it gets too dry, add a little bit of water. Cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Add the lentils and tomatoes. Stir well and cook for a further 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice.
- Make your salsa verde by finely chopping all your herbs, capers and garlic on a board, mixing them altogether as you go. Transfer to a small dish and add your oil, salt and pepper. Mix together until combined.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
