Ingredients
1 cup dried lentils, washed and drained
1 bay leaf
2 3/4 cups water, divided
2 tsp. ghee or extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp.ground cumin
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup roasted cashews, for garnish
Directions
Place lentils in a pot with bay leaf and 2 cups of the water; bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and let simmer 25-30 minutes, until lentils are soft and all of the water is absorbed. Heat ghee or oil in a 4 qt. pot or pressure cooker. Add onion, garlic, and salt; sauté until onion is soft. Add coriander, cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. Add cauliflower, tomato sauce, ginger and 3/4 cup water; stir well. Cover and let simmer until cauliflower is tender (about 15-20 minutes) or bring up to pressure and cook 5-7 minutes. Stir cooked lentils into cauliflower mixture, discarding the bay leaf. Serve over whole grains and garnish with cashews, if desired.
