Best 5 Cauliflower And Lentil Stew With Onion Relish Recipes

RED CURRY RICE AND LENTIL STEW

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan, cook the garlic, onion and ginger in 1-2 tbsp of vegetable broth over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring, until softened and fragrant.
• Add the carrots, cauliflower and red curry paste. Stir and cook for a 3-4 more minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and lightly simmer for 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes until everything is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Option to stir in 1/2 cup of coconut milk for extra creaminess.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.

LENTIL AND CAULIFLOWER STEW

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender about 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are crisp tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add the lentils to the pan, stirring to coat. Add the tomatoes, broth, ginger, coriander, allspice, and the remaining salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the lentils have begun to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower, cover, and cook until the lentils and cauliflower are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Serve lentils and cauliflower stew over rice with a dollop of yogurt.

CHARRED CAULIFLOWER STEW

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates, if you'd like, to make cleanup easier. (Or, if you don't have a grill, heat the broiler to high and lightly oil a baking sheet.) Take one of the heads of cauliflower, pull off the leaves, and slice it into big slabs, stalk and all. Throw the slices on the grill and cook on each side until you get nice char marks, about 3 minutes per side, or broil until they turn dark brown, about 10 minutes (no need to flip them). Let slices cool, then roughly chop them. (You aren't fully cooking the slices; they'll cook in the stew. What you want to do is get that char on there.)
• Take the other head of cauliflower and grate 1/2 cup cauliflower florets into a small bowl. Break off a big chunk (about a quarter of the head) and set it aside, then roughly chop the rest.
• Prepare the pickled cauliflower: Mix the grated cauliflower with lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and let sit until stew is ready to be served.
• Put 1/4 cup oil in a large pot, and set it over medium heat. Once it's hot, add onions, garlic, coriander, mustard and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until onions are almost translucent but haven't browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in parsnips and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the parsnips soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the raw chopped cauliflower, the big chunk of cauliflower and the potatoes. Stir a few times, then pour in the stock. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer and let cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer that big chunk of now-cooked cauliflower into a blender along with 2 cups of the soup. Make sure you get some potatoes, parsnips and celery in there. Blend, but do it carefully. Hot soup has a tendency to explode. Start it on low and slowly increase the speed.
• Pour the blended mixture back into your big pot of stew, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the grilled or broiled cauliflower. When you're ready to serve, bring it up to a boil again.
• To serve, divide watercress between 6 large bowls. Ladle the stew into the bowls and top with cheese, tarragon and pickled cauliflower.

LENTIL & CAULIFLOWER CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion until soft, about 5 mins. Add the curry paste, spices and lentils, then stir to coat the lentils in the onions and paste. Pour over the stock and simmer for 20 mins, then add the cauliflower, potato and a little extra water if it looks a bit dry.
• Simmer for about 12 mins until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender. Stir in the yogurt, coriander and lemon juice, and serve with the brown rice.

CAULIFLOWER-AND-LENTIL STEW WITH ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup onion in a small bowl of ice water. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high; add remaining onion and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garam masala; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add lentils, cauliflower, tomatoes, 3 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are cooked through and soup has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in kale; cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season to taste. Drain reserved onion and place in a bowl with lime zest and juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Serve stew with onion relish spooned over top, drizzled with oil.
