Ingredients

Cauliflower

  • 1 piece cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1/2 pack Jamaican curry blend
  • 1 drizzle of oil

Lentils

  • 1/2 brown onion, finely diced
  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 1/2 pack Jamaican curry blend
  • 1 tsp Thai yellow curry paste
  • 200ml light coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup split red lentils
  • 1 1/2 cup vegetable stock
  • 125g frozen corn
  • 1/2 pack baby spinach

Salsa

  • 1/4 pineapple, diced 1cm
  • 2 Tbsp toasted coconut chips
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

To Serve

  • 1/2 bunch coriander, leaves picked
  • 2 Tbsp Jamaican yoghurt drizzle

Steps

  1. Before you start. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).
  2. Prep & cook cauliflower. Prep cauliflower and toss on a lined oven tray with the first measure of Jamaican curry blend and oil. Season with salt and roast for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender.
  3. Prep & cook lentils. Prep onion. Heat oil in a medium pot on medium heat. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add remaining Jamaican curry blend and yellow curry paste (start with 1/2 tsp curry paste if you prefer less spice) and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant.
  4. Add coconut milk, lentils, stock and a pinch of salt to pot, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender.
  5. Finish lentils. Stir through corn and spinach and cook a further 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Prep salsa & coriander. Cut the skin off pineapple and dice flesh 1cm. Just before serving, toss in a small bowl with coconut chips, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Prep coriander.
  7. Serve. Lentils topped with cauliflower and salsa. Drizzle with Jamaican yoghurt drizzle and garnish with coriander.
