Smokey Cauliflower & Lentil Stew

September 21, 2019 / Niki / 30 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.

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

    Many thanks

      You can use a little Tamari or just leave it out.
