Ingredients
Lentils
1 cup red lentils
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bowl and Toppings
1 recipe prepared cauliflower rice (get the recipe)
2 carrots, peeled
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup sliced scallions
¼ cup cilantro leaves
4 lime wedges
Directions
1. Make the Lentils: In a medium pot, stir the lentils with the broth or water, curry powder, cumin and coriander. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat.
2. Simmer until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Make the Bowl and Toppings: Divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Divide the lentils between the four bowls, scooping it on top of the rice.
4. Use a vegetable peeler to cut wide carrot “ribbons” from the whole peeled carrots. Divide the carrot curls among the four bowls.
5. Top each bowl with 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon scallions, 1 tablespoon cilantro and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately.
