Curried Red Lentils & Cauliflower

Who doesn’t love a good, cozy bowl of curry? This recipe for Curried Red Lentils & Cauliflower is sure to satisfy.

The days are starting to get longer (Yay!) but it’s definitely still cozy season. Enjoy a hearty bowl of lentils and cauliflower, packed with protein and veggies. This is delicious served with naan or rice.

Begin by heating a deep pan or pot over medium heat with a splash of water or oil. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until fragrant. Add the herbs and spices and cook for another minute. Next, add the tomato paste, potato, cauliflower, red lentils, and broth to the pot and mix to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let cook for 20 minutes, until lentils and potato are cooked. Remove lid and stir in plant based milk and greens (if using). Serve! I love this dish with naan or rice.
