INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup dry green lentils (approx 100g)

100g extra firm tofu

1 cup cauliflower rice (approx 107g)

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 medium diced tomato

1/4 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the dry lentils thoroughly and place them in a pot with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain any excess water.

• 2

  While the lentils are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

• 3

  Stir in the diced tomato, cumin powder, paprika, and half of the turmeric powder. Cook for another 2 minutes to release the spices’ aroma.

• 4

  Add the cooked lentils and the extra firm tofu (cubed) into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper, and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.

• 5

  In a separate pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat with the remaining turmeric powder for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.

• 6

  Serve the spiced lentil, tofu stew over a bed of bright turmeric cauliflower rice. Enjoy warm!
