Make it

Yield: 2 main-course servings

Estimated timing: Estimated 15 minutes preparation and 30 minutes roasting; 45 minutes total. Untested estimate.

Ingredients

  • 400 g cauliflower florets, washed and dried
  • 150 g seedless red grapes, washed and removed from stems
  • 240 g canned green or brown lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 15 mL red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 20 g unsalted pumpkin seeds
  • 10 g fresh flat-leaf parsley, washed and chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

  1. Start cauliflower

    Heat oven to 210 C / 410 F. Toss cauliflower with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking tray and roast for 15 minutes.

  2. Add grapes

    Turn cauliflower and add whole grapes. Roast another 10-15 minutes until cauliflower is tender and browned and grapes are softened. Let stand while making the dressing.

  3. Dress lentils

    Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, mustard and maple syrup in a bowl. Add drained lentils and parsley and toss.

  4. Assemble

    Fold in warm cauliflower, grapes and tray juices gently. Divide between two bowls and scatter each with 10 g pumpkin seeds. Serve promptly; no bread or cheese is included.
