I’m feeling under the weather at the moment, and this is exactly what I want to eat. Flavour packed, hearty and healthy.
The puy lentils provide a lovely earthy texture and flavour, to which I’ve added tons of Unami flavours; balsamic, miso, smoked paprika and tamari. The result is wonderfully comforting and more-ish.
I would be happy to eat this on its own with fresh bread, but it’s served on a bed of vibrant parsnip and squash mash here. This adds not only colour but, of course, extra nutrients.
I’m also very excited about by fourth book Rainbow Bowls release tomorrow! It follows the same principles – veg packed recipes with wholesome, delicious and nutritious ingredients.
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do, love Niki xxx

Would love to make this for a dinner party. I’m in the US and Oat Cream is not readily available. What can I substitute? Coconut cream?
