Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm quinoa, warm lentils, currants, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon together in a bowl and mix well.
  2. To plate this dish, evenly divide the lentil mixture among 10 bowls. Top with spiced cauliflower and almonds. Garnish with parsley and a drizzle of white balsamic vinaigrette.

*To prepare Spiced Cauliflower:
Combine 4 parts curry powder to 1 part turmeric with canola oil and lemon juice. Dress the cut cauliflower florets in the spice mix and roast at 425⁰F (220⁰C) for 10 minutes.

**To prepare White Balsamic vinaigrette:
Combine 2 parts avocado oil to 1 part white balsamic vinegar

Chef’s Tip:
Something as simple as rotating a seasonal apple or plant based cheese through this bowl will allow it to remain vegan but provide some delicious flavor pairings.
