Instrukcje
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the cauliflower florets in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10-12 minutes until very tender.
- 2.While the cauliflower cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and diced sweet potato, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the potato begins to soften.
- 3.Stir in the drained lentils, chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4.Once the filling has thickened, stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Transfer the lentil mixture to a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish.
- 5.Drain the cooked cauliflower well. Return it to the pot and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.
- 6.Carefully spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the lentil filling in the baking dish.
- 7.Bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the cauliflower topping is lightly golden. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
