Smokey Cauliflower & Lentil Stew

September 21, 2019 / Niki / 24 Comments

I’m so excited to get my mits on all the lovely autumnal veg so I can make lots of new soups, stews and curry recipes.
My absolute favourite things to eat, so there will be lots deliciousness coming your way.

This one is a beautifully warming and smokey stew with cauliflower & red lentils and lots of spices. I like to stir a little coconut yogurt in for creaminess but this is entirely optional.

Top with tahini dressing and and lots of coriander. Plus some chucks of bread or flatbread – delicious!!
Enjoy xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Really yummy despite my idiotic cockup of adding tahini instead tamari… 🙈🙈
But definitely will be cooking it again ☺

Can you also cook this using a slow cooker? If so, how long would you recommend cooking it for? 🙂

Many thanks

Just made this swapped parsnips for the carrots and didn’t have any tamari so that was omitted. Really tasty winter comfort food yummy
