You'll coat cauliflower wedges in our aromatic baharat spice mix and roast them until golden. The wedges are served over a flavour-packed Lebanese style 'mujaddara' spiced lentil and basmati rice pilaf. Topped with crispy onions and a fresh tahini-lemon drizzle. (Dairy-free: see our FAQs for details). Once cauliflower florets were ready, I mixed them with lentils, dates, toasted sliced almonds, red onions, and some mixed greens.

After being drizzled with the sweet tahini dressing, it ended up being a warm, sweet and sour salad that I know I'll be making many times in the years to come. Stir cauliflower, coconut milk, and carrot into the lentil mixture. Toss cauliflower florets with enough olive oil to cover them in a light, even layer of oil. Season with salt and pepper and arrange the florets in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Stir in the curry paste and lentils then add the hot stock.
