Lentil dahl with vegetables and quinoa

Core recipe

Serves 4

1 cup of red split lentils per person

1 cup of quinoa per person

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground ginger

½ tsp ground coriander

pinch of cayenne (very hot so beware!)

half a cauliflower

1 stalk of broccoli

half a swede

1 tsp garam masala

tamari

nori flakes

Rinse the quinoa and put in a pan with 2-3 times the amount of water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed (about 40 minutes).

Put the lentils in a large pan with plenty of water. Bring to the boil and skim off any scum that appears. Turn down the heat, add the spices, except the garam masala, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the chopped vegetables, tamari and garam masala and cook until the vegetables are soft. Serve the dahl on top of the quinoa and sprinkle with nori flakes.
