What you need to make a cauliflower bowl

200g Beluga lentils

240g cauliflower
200g Hokkaido pumpkin
100g kale
1 pomegranate
1 chilli pepper
1 spring onion
Tandoori spice
olive oil

Preparing the bowl step by step

Unlike a conventional salad, the individual components aren't mixed together, but prepared and arranged separately in a bowl.

Beluga lentils

Bring 500ml of salted water to the boil and cook the Beluga lentils for around 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Smoked tofu

Dice tofu into 2x2cm pieces, fry in a pan in a little oil or heat up in the oven and serve warm.

Tandoori cauliflower

Chop the cauliflower into florets. Marinate in rapeseed oil seasoned with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon Tandoori spice. Roast in oven at 220°C for around 10 minutes.

Hokkaido pumpkin

Cut Hokkaido pumpkin into roughly 2x2cm chunks. Marinate in rapeseed oil seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven at 220°C for around 15 minutes.

Kale

1. Wash the kale and pat dry.
2. Then marinate in olive oil with a pinch of salt and lay it out on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
3. Bake in the oven on the fan setting at 130°C for around 15-20 minutes.
4. Leave to cool a bit.
   

Pomegranate seeds

Cut the pomegranate in half through the middle, then tap the skin with a wooden spoon to release the seeds.

Serving the bowl

Arrange all the ingredients as you like in a bowl. Finish off by finely slicing the chilli pepper (adjust quantity to taste) and spring onion, and sprinkling them over the bowl as a topping.
