โINSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare & Roast the Cauliflower Steaks:
โช๏ธโPreheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).
โช๏ธโCut off the base of the cauliflower head, slice it in half, and cut 1-inch thick "steak" slabs from the center.
โช๏ธโIn a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create a smoky glaze.
โช๏ธโHeat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil.
โช๏ธSear the cauliflower steaks for about 5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
โช๏ธโBrush both sides liberally with the spice glaze, transfer the skillet (or move steaks to a baking sheet), and bake in the oven at 400ยฐF for 10 to 15 minutes until tender.
2. โMake the Golden Ginger-Turmeric Lentils:
โช๏ธโHeat 1 tbsp oil in a separate skillet or pot over medium heat. Sautรฉ the diced shallot, garlic, and ginger for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
โช๏ธโStir in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, salt, and pepper; let cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
โช๏ธโAdd the rinsed red lentils, full-fat coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Mix thoroughly to combine.
โช๏ธโBring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and creamy.
โช๏ธโStir in fresh juice from 1/2 a lemon and adjust salt/pepper to taste.
โ3. Assemble & Serve:
โช๏ธโSpoon a generous portion of the creamy golden lentils onto a plate.
โช๏ธโTop with a roasted cauliflower steak.
โช๏ธโOptional garnish: drizzle with chili oil and top with freshly chopped parsley.
