Food & Cooking Recipes Cauliflower-and-Lentil Stew with Onion Relish Close Credit: Nico Schinco Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 45 mins Servings: 4 This fresh take on lentil stew combines the warming spices of garam masala, ginger, and fire-roasted tomatoes with cauliflower, red lentils, and baby kale. A zesty onion relish brightens up this vegan bowl that will keep bellies warm and full on a chilly night. Directions 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.
