INGREDIENTS
100g Tempeh
200g Cauliflower
100g Cooked Red Lentils
100g Cooked Chickpeas
1 tsp Olive Oil
50g Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Mixed Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, then mash with a fork or blend until smooth; season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
In a pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent.
Crumble the tempeh into the pan and cook until slightly browned. Add the cooked red lentils and chickpeas, stirring to combine.
Mix in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to heat through for a few minutes.
Transfer the lentil-tempeh mixture into an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly as the base layer.
Top the filling with the mashed cauliflower, gently spreading it to cover completely.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
