Instructions to make Puy lentil stew with baked cauliflower and steamed cavolo nero:
  1. Add around 2 tbsb of the rapeseed oil to a roasting pan and then place the pan in the oven. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the quartered cauliflower in the hot roasting pan (you could also add some halved sweet potatoes and large chunks of squash, which are great throughout the week as a side to or as part of lunch time salads). Drizzle around 1 tbsp of the rapeseed oil over the cauliflower (use more oil if you’re adding sweet potato &/or squash). Bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours
  2. While the cauliflower is baking, heat around 5 tbsps of the rapeseed oil in a large, heavy, cast iron pan with a lid - put the lid to one side. Add the chopped peppers and fry gently for a few minutes, then add the diced carrots.
  3. Fry them together on a medium to high heat (stirring as necessary) until they begin to go golden brown. Then add the diced carrots and fry for 10 minutes (stirring as necessary).
  4. Turn down the heat down low, then add the fennel seeds and onions. Fry gently for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced garlic, diced Jerusalem artichokes (or potatoes) and chopped celery. Fry gently for a further 5 minutes.
  6. Add the smoked paprika, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Fry gently for a few minutes. Then add the vinegar and deglaze the pan.
  7. Add the chicken stock, lentils and bay leaves. Then stir.
  8. Add the whole mushrooms. Do not stir. Put the lid on and turn the heat down to it's lowest setting and leave for about an hour. You may need to gently stir around the 40 minute mark, to ensure the contents do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  9. Place the chopped cabbage on top. Do not stir. Replace the lid and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
  10. Stir & then the stew is ready to serve.
  11. Serve with the baked cauliflower and some steamed cavolo nero on top.

Heat a splash of oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, add the shredded cavolo nero and any aromatics, such as garlic, chilli and ginger. Cooked this way cavalo nero makes a great substitute for kale in a healthy stir-fry. Top the roasted cauliflower with puy lentils, peanuts, and chopped herbs. Drizzle tahini dressing (see recipe below) or, if you prefer, simply season the salad with extra virgin olive oil. Cook the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes on each side or until it's golden.
