Cauliflower & red lentil one pot

A brand new vegetarian one-pot so quick to make and so delicious for the colder evenings! Both cauliflower and lentils are very budget friendly ingredients and full of great nutrients. For those in need of a greater amount of protein I would serve this with grilled chicken or salmon.
So so simple and very tasty.

The Health Boost Tip

Cauliflower is such a versatile and budget friendly vegetable.
Red lentils are high in potassium, fibre, folate, and polyphenols. They are good source of plant based protein.
