How to make Red Lentil Cauliflower Bowl

Tips from the cook

  • Roast the cauliflower and chickpeas until golden, so they add crunch to the soft lentils.
  • Grate the ginger and garlic to a paste, so they melt into the sauce.
  • Simmer the lentils gently with the lid on for about 10 minutes, until tender.
  • Add the spinach, coriander and lime juice at the end, so they stay fresh.
