1 tsp dry basil

1 tsp dry oregano

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 a head medium sized cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 cups)

步驟

Heat up your oil in a large sauté pan or pot. Add in onions and bay leaves with a pinch of salt and sauté until the onions have become translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add in your diced peppers and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Stir in your garlic and herbs, making sure to continue to sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about a minute.

Add in your cauliflower and stir into the herby onion mixture until well coated. Stir the cauliflower occasionally for 3 minutes and then stir in your tomatoes, continuing to stir for an additional 2 minutes.

Pour in your red lentils, vegetable broth and give a good stir before adding in the fresh thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook covered for 15-20 minutes or until lentils and cauliflower are cooked through.

Remove the lid along with the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, then stir in your balsamic vinegar. Season your stew to taste by adding in some salt and pepper to your liking.
