Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 5.While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the puree. In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, the remaining 15ml olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
- 6.Blend until smooth, adding water 1-2 tablespoons at a time to reach a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- 7.To serve, spread a generous layer of the warm lentil puree onto two plates. Carefully place a roasted cauliflower steak on top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
