I couldn't decide what to make for dinner last night so I just started cooking some cauliflower and then settled for red lentils to go with it. Another delicious and nutritious meal. Mhmmm! Lentils are so good and I can't believe I waited until
now to make them, because they had been sitting in my cupboard for at least a month now. But hey, I think they won't be around for too long since I'm already thinking about how to use them next.
Cauliflower florets with nutmeg & salt and 1/2 cup red lentils with a tsp. vegetable broth, salt, pepper, some paprika powder and nutmeg, a small sauteed onion, a dash of garlic powder, tumeric and cumin.
And thank you all for your comments on my last post =)

What a simple and delicious sounding meal. I too really like red lentils, and cauliflower as well, I'd have happily sat down and chowed on this with you!
Lentils are one of my staples, and every Tuesday I have a thick lentil soup. They are warming and give plenty of energy. Paprika and nutmeg are the perfect spices for them.
spiced lentils with cauliflower - can't get any better than that! :0)
Simple is always best-- especially when lentils are involved.
Red lentils and cauliflower?! Two of my absolute favorite foods! Your meal looks so satisfying and delicious...yum!

Romina - I had been wanting to make that ever since I saw pics of it on someones blog, but since I don't own V-con I came up with this and it was soooo satisfying =)
Cookiemouse - I used to have lentil soup at least once a week, too when I was little! It's so comforting!
In the beginning I wasn't sure which spices to use, but then I checked a few red lentil recipes and knew what would work ;)
Veggie Girl - That's what I figured out that night ;)
Katie - I always get so excited when something simple turns out to be delicious!
Courtney - Oh it SO was!! You should gve it a try! I've been so crazy about cauliflower again ever since I went vegan =)
